Remember, it's a front surface mirror, that is, the silver coating is on top
of the glass. If you press too hard while cleaning, you'll scratch the
coating right off or atleast leave a line.

| Rick,
| 1. Since it is an OM-1, not a 2s, or 4, you can CAREFULLY clean it using
| alcohol or other good lens cleaner. YOU CANNOT DO THIS ON ANY OM CAMERA
THAT
| HAS THE 2dn MIRROR!!
| OM-1, 2 and 2n mirrors are multicoated and can withstand careful cleaning.
| Just make sure to clean in one direction as much as possible. Do not
clean
| in a circular motion.
| When I was at P&B, we used to show how great OM mirrors were by cleaning
| them with our ties!
|
| 2. Use a pipe wrench. There is no known adapter for the Asanuma lenses.
| Asanuma did not make an adapter, only Tamron with the Adaptamatic, later
| Adaptall and Adaptall 2, Sigma with the YS, Soligor and Vivitar with the
T4
| and Vivitar with the TX series.
