Out at a local beach shooting some snaps today. Bright sun. I noticed (for
the first time) that with sunlight coming in from the side, the meter will
vary as much as two stops depending on whether light to the viewfinder is
blocked. This happens in auto as well as manual mode. When I turned the
camera into the light, the variation dropped to a stop or less. Does this
mean light leak around viewfinder, or is this something that happens with
OMs?

Thanx!

Bob, it only happens with the OM1(N) and OM2(N) bodies. The later bodies did not have meter cells in the viewfinder area.
