Fellow Zuiks,

I thought you might like to see my latest arrival.
It is my first OM-1 MD.  I had it CLA'd at Photosphere, converted to 1.5v
meter, new Morgan Sparks Leathers.  I mounted a much discussed 100/2.8
silvernose on it for the photo.  It has a 1-13 screen and the coolest
sounding shutter you ever heard.

I was shooting with it in Balboa Park today.  The possessor of a N..K.N
wonderbrick spotted it and remarked that he thought he had seen a OM-1 like
it about 25 years ago, but didn't remember the covering being so nice.  I
told him it had been in a vault for years (g).  Anyway, below is a link to a
photo of it.
