Hello All,

 I'm rather new and very inexperianced with anything but point and shoot
hahaha.  I recently purchased a OM-1n for astronomical photos (btw anyone
suggest any good books that take a newbie into this?)
The camera I purchased looks to be in excellant condition.  I did notice
though this black sticky goo aproximently 2 millimeters in width that
encircles the area where the film cover (whatever you call it) meets the
body.  I thought it was a foam when I looked at it  but when touching it I
notice it is sticky.
YUCK.   Ok I assume there was something there that deteriated.  foam or
something.  Any ideas what or how.  And most importantly can I clean it ?
and how?  Do I need to have something replaced there for a good seal?

Christiaan
A very new Olympus fan I hope anyway
