The shutter speed dial stopped working on my trusty and lovely OM-2n so outside of bright sunny days, I was having a hard time getting the shots I've been wanting out of it. I decided that since I have a decent few lenses, I'd just pick up another OM body and shoot with that. I found an OM-1 in great condition and have been putting it to use.

The most interesting thing I've found is that I didn't realize how the body makes such a difference. On my OM-2 (my Dad's OM-2) my dad told me about a mod he made in the late 80's that allows for a finer grained less contrast-y image. After a couple of films I've found my OM-1, even with low speed film, end up with more contrast in comparison.

While this has it's downsides, it's been great for some B&W street photo sessions and I had a great one documenting the Portuguese Euro celebration festival.
