This is off the rec.35mm group. I seems that Olympus is dedicated to
supporting its 20 year old design (if it's not too much R&D).
Just got this info from Olympus USA reference my question about battery:
The 1.3 volt mercury battery has been outlawed in most states through
out the country, due to environmental concerns.
It is possible, however, to use a 1.5 silver oxide battery in the OM -1
camera, with the new Olympus Battery Adapter MR -9. The MR -9 fits
into the battery compartment and reduces both the voltage and amp
output to the required levels for safe use. The part number is OT3102
and has a list price of $ 25.08, plus shipping and handling. It can be
purchased directly from our Parts Departments with a Visa and
MasterCard. You can call them directly at 1 800 622 6372 ( ext. 1620 ).
