While I have no idea as to the reason for differences in the exposure times
between the two bodies, one reason for longer auto-exposure times than indicated
in the finder can be light falling into the viewfinder from the back. At least
with the OM-1 or OM-2/10 etc. on manual (OM-2S and OM-3/4 meter differently,
does anyone know wether they have the same problem?) this is a real pain, as the
difference can be some stops. Even on auto it's a problem, as it's always
working 'against' you: the shot, you thought you could do handheld, might be way
out of that range. An eye-cup might be a solution.
Hope this helps,
Soenke, Hamburg
