I've gotta weigh in here...

Definately 1-4(n?) for the OM-1 and the beattie counter-part for the 
OM-4. (more like a 2-4)  I wish I had a 1-8 for the occasional astro
stuff I do, but
I don't do enough of that, and the -4's are good enough  for me as far as
astro.

All I need in the viewfinder is a fine matte and a circle to tell me
where the meter
is pointing at...all of the micro-prisms and split screens just seemed to
get in the 
way...if I did more archi. type stuff, I'd probably send my screens to JH
for etching
(or do it myself and then have to buy more <g>) But I don't have a shift
lens, so the 
point is moot anyway...

My .002 FRN's...

*provided ya have a good archival system in place.

2-13 for me.

I've used the 1-4n, 1-10, 1-12, 1-13 (both in OM-40 as well as normal (=
darker) version), the 2-4 and the 2-13, and my absolute favourite is the
2-13: bright and with the focussing aids, which I, for one person,
actually
do like.

Cheers!
Olafo
