Thanks Mark, John,
Maybe the lubricant available here in USA is not the same as what is used
in Japan...or maybe it's just been laid on a little too thick. Will post
back when
I get rid of the rest of the roll... (Yeah film is cheap, but I'm gonna
use every
damn frame of this fuji superia up!)

I would suspect a lubricant that starts to congeal in cold WX also. Had
my
OM-1n out in 10F (-10C) WX last night running 1/30th and slower speeds.
No
problem last night, nor was there any last winter in colder temperatures
near 0F (-15C). These temps are all "still air" without the wind chill
factor which must have driven it at least 10F to 15F colder.
