You're absolutely right about us all having those stories, and I could 
certainly regale you with mine. One thing I was curious about though, 
was why the dead battery in your OM-1 mattered. If you were using the 
meter then, presumably, you would have noticed the lack of meter 
movement. Nothing should have stopped the (mechanical) OM-1 from 
actually taking the picture(s).

Cheers,
Ian
