Strange OM1(n) behaviour?Bill,
That is normal. Original Om-1's were like that too. Just remember to turn
the meter on before you shoot!

On the weekend I was checking over my OM1(n) for any glitches (I plan to
send to Camtech soon so I wanted to get any possible issues identified) when
I found something funny. When the meter is switched off, if I turn the
shutter speed dial towards B (about 1 or 2 speed), I can get the meter
needle to move. It will also move again at this point if I change the
aperture settings. This also happens WITHOUT A BATTERY. Any insight as to
what this is and why the needle would move even without a battery? When it
moves it is not a correct reading; when the meter is switched back or a
battery replaced on it works properly.
Thanks for the advice.
-Bill
