I have never heard of any particular problems of the 1 over the 1n, the 1n
is a newer body, but not much. AFAIK the only things the 1n has over the 1
are:
1. Slightly re-styled advance lever plastics section.
2. Takes Shoe 4, rather than Shoe 1, which leads to:
3. Has LED charge indicator in the viewfinder for the T series flash units,
but doesn't give TTL flash.
4. Has contact on back of body for the recordata back (rather than using
sync cord).
I can't see any LOGICAL reason for disliking the OM-2n.

Consider any of the single digit OMs as a professional class camera.
