The OM-2N exposure limits are pretty consistent no matter what asa you're at.
Low
light exposure IS between 3 and 3.5 minutes. Low light exposure in the OM-2
varies
with asa. ASA 12 being the longest (30 minutes?) asa 1600 the shortest (20
seconds).
These times are with eyepiece taped over, body cap on.
The 2 has an LED next to one of the SBCs inside the mirror box (you can't take
it out
of the circuit reliably), it glows at a different intensity based on asa (ASA
12, dim
, asa 1600, bright).
The 2N LED however does not glow, it blinks at the 3 1/2 minute mark, closing
the
shutter.
