Is it possible to tune an OM-2 meter to -1.0 stops?  I like to shoot at
concerts and want to use the 1600 speed film.  Since the OM-2 lacks a spot
meter, I have to set the exposure compensation dial to -1EV to fool the
averaging meter into ignoring the black background.  (On the OM2, you can't
set the speed to 1600 then dial in -1.)

Go to manual you say?  That's not an option in concert photography with the
OM2 since the backgrounds are completely black, meaning the OM2's analog
black scale is completely unusable.

Any ideas?
