Matthias,
My sunlight problems all seem to stem from light entering the view finder
and fooling the OM-1's meter. What you say is certainly reasonable, but then
taking any photo with great variations light-to-shadow requires some thought
to arrive at the correct exposure for the result you'd like to have.
