Only you would know if they are "not so good." As far as being the best
they can be, if you used the OM-1 on a tripod and used a cable release
or self-timer to take the shot, they potentially could have been
better.  But it would have required using a OM-2S/OM4/OM-4T(i) class
body along with the self-timer, to get what we call "mirror and
diaphragm prefire."  That is "water under the bridge" now.  You and I
and everyone else got our shots.  If we had know about vibration issues
we might have missed it fidgeting with the camera or waiting for the
self-timer to fire.  It's only when you have time to spare can this
technique lead to higher performance from your camera and lens.
