Hi Lars,
thanks for this valuable information.
I had done the screen modification before and I would recommend it to
those, who mostly use their OM2(n) in the auto mode. In the manual mode
(and thus with the OM1 as I believe), the size of the bias introduced to
the light measurement seems to be somewhat erratic. Depending on the
light distribution in the 'picture', I found deviations between 0.5 and
1 EV. That might not be such a problem with negative films, but I use
slide films mostly and they are really unforgiving.
For the modification itself, I found it useful to fix the screen in a
small vice (NOT with the flat sides toward the jaws but with the
rim!!!). In that way you don't have to touch the surfaces at any stage
of the process.

Very useful indeed! There is a reasonably priced winder 1 for sale here
and I think I shall have a go at it now.
Only one question remains for me: Does the "tap for single exposure,
hold for sequence"-method work out well or do you find that you often
did two or more exposures when you only wanted to take one?
