Good thing too - the later Kodak Retinas had this feature and you have a
depress a button while rotating the rings to select a different combination.
Most annoying after an hour or two.

The placement of the shutter ring on an OM does mean that you can look along
the lens barrel and see easily the relationship between speeds and apertures
though and it would be specially useful with the 35-70 f3.5-4.5 where the
two rings are closer together.
