Exactly. 1 series screens don't have an adverse affect on manual meter
readings. To refresh my memory regarding series 2 screen metering, I
checked my OM-2 that's been calibrated to the 2 screen (with a 50/1.8).
With a 35mm lens, meter overexposes 1/4 to 1/3 stop, 24mm overexposes
about 1/2 stop. I think telephotos introduce underexposure.
