Well, then it may depend on how exacting you are. Looking at Wayne C's examples, these two shots are interesting:

Personally I prefer the darker exposure, but others may prefer the lighter one. I wouldn't say either exposure was wrong though. Bracket 1/2 a stop either side of the 'correct' meter reading, and you'll increase your chances of getting the exposure you want.

I'm getting a mix.. Some underexposed, some overexposed. 1/3rd of a stop is evident in the slides, but not so in print. I can be off by 1 full stop and still be ok on print, but not on slide..

My experience with slides is that right from the very start, the OM-1
meter was good enough to give me 950f my slides nicely exposed, and
with a few years now of experience and knowledge, I find that it's very
rare for me to get a badly exposed slide.  Are your slides coming out
consistently underexposed or overexposed, or a mixture of the two?  If
consistently one way, I'd certainly suspect there's a problem with the
meter.
