The OM-1 is manual metering only. I'm going by memory, but I think the range
is EV 1 to EV 17(19?)

The OM-2 is a different story. Great for metering very low light (it's rated
down to EV -5 I think, but in practice you may be able to go lower). The
nature of the OTF metering allows the meter on the OM-2's and OM-4's to
integrate during the exposure, so they go reallll low. Be careful about
reciprocity failure, though.

I suspect you would find the exact values in the FAQ.
