I'm sure I'll be the 15th reply, but OM-1 shutter doesn't work on 'between'
settings. You will get (for instance) either 1/125 or 1/250, but not in
between. Which probably depends on some mechanical alignment, but might not
be repeatable either... bottom line is set it to one or the other.
Now, the aperture *will* work between click-stops, set it anywhere you
want. I've even toyed with the idea of filing some 'in-between' grooves in a
50/1.8 just to see how it feels...
