How long ? I think this depends on environmental conditions, however I
wouldn't
expect too many OM-1s to have good original foam. Replacement of the back
seals and mirror buffers can be done by anyone with reasonable mechanical
skills (there are instructions on the FAQ I believe). If there is rotting foam
on the
pentaprism, I would recommend a professional to repair it.
