AFAIK, it's in the light meter where the trouble arises with an
alkaline cell. The voltage will decline as the cell is used up, no
matter how long it lasts. This will give inaccurate meter readings,
beginning, I would guess, quite a short time after fitting a fresh
battery. So, if the cell lasts 2 years in an OM-1, that could mean you
get 2 years of progressively worse meter errors!
