A list member recently sent me a couple of OM-1's to have custom leather
fitted. One shows its age; the other (a 1n) is nice-looking. I picked
up the "beater" and put it through the motions . . . the advance was
buttery smooth, the shutter release was silky and hushed, the
viewfinder...the viewfinder! Crystal clear. . . not a speck. The meter
was dead-on.
Then I saw it...the little white "Camtech" sticker in the film chamber.
They had both been CLA'd a few months prior. What a difference. My
OM-1 looks new but pales next to the "beater a la Hermanson".
