I don't know about an OM-30, but I know what John said is true for an
OM-2n.
When I was shooting 3200, I would just put the ISO at the highest
setting (1600 IIRC, all my cameras are boxed for a move this week) and
then use the meter to underexpose the shot by a stop (or 2 if I was
pushing to 6400).
