I moved from an OM1 to the Pentax ME-Super to get more reliable metering. The OM1 was ok when it was working, but I was getting it re-calibrated every 6 months or so . . . I had been through that with a Nikkormat and just did not see the need to put up with that hassle. Maybe if you use it in manual with a handheld meter . . .
