I bought it. Now I need a better tripod (e.g. Gitzo Series 3).

Gary Reese's lens tests indicate the aperture firing mechanism of the OM-1 is
not the most compatible with this lens, even when mirror lockup is used.
Should I acquire an OM-4 (for non-astro)?
The astrophotos I plan to take with the 250/2 will be exposed anywhere from 20
sec. to 10 min., and the transient shutter/aperture vibrations should have no
effect.
I also would like a 1.4x-A. Anyone want to part with one?
