From my personal experience I know the OM-1 meter is strongly influenced
by light entering from the viewer (up to 2 stops).
If the lens is slow, the amouth of light from the lens is less, while the
amount of light from the viewer stays the same, making the error more
visible (pictures are more underexposed).
That's the reason I bought my first OM-2 oh so many years ago. I was using
the OM-1 for a lot of macro work and the only way I could get decent meter
readings at fairly high magnifications was to use an eyecup to block the
extraneous light. The OM-2 with it's OTF exposure metering worked much
better for me.
