Two things come across my mind:
*Is the right focusing screen in the OM-1? OM-4Ti won't be affected by
clear-field screens, like 1-5, 1-6 and 1-7, but they are likely to shift
the OM-1 metering, depending on the lens.
*Maybe there's a problem between the coupling lever of the OM-1 and the
coupling pin of affected lenses. I've got a Zuiko MC 50/1.4 whose coupling
pin doesn't match the coupling levers of my OM-1MD and OM-1n, but works OK
with my other OMs. By the way, both OM-1s work great with my other 11
lenses.
Hope this helps,
...
