I used the alkaline PX625 for the last several years in my OM1n with no
evident harm to the camera. The meter was accurate enough for modern print
films. I found enough error with slide film though to wish for a better
solution.
I have also tried air cells but found they do not last long enough even here
in the cool, humid rain forests of Southeast Alaska.
I recently went back to mercury 625 cells, though I will probably go with a
converter when my present supply runs out.
The sky here is blue today as well (above 20,000 feet, that is ;))
