That's right. The 2N guaranteed exposure to 2 minutes but it is usually
3.5.

| The original Olympus OM-2 Instruction book says (on the Main
| Specifications page), "Measuring Range: ASA 100 F1.2 from several tens
| of seconds to F16, 1/1,000 second." And in the section titled Automatic
| Exposure Control, "Since your OM-2 provides for automatic exposures from
| 1 second to approximately 60 seconds (with ASA 100), make sure your
| camera is on a tripod or other stable support."
|
| I can't find my OM-2n Instruction book, but I believe the "guaranteed"
| exposure range was doubled to two minutes under similar conditons.
|
| In use, however, an OM-2 or OM-2n _may_ keep the shutter open much
| longer than one or two minutes. But both models have a tiny LED peeking
| into one of the Silicon Blue Cells to assure that, even in "total"
| darkness, the shutter will eventually close. The P-circuit of the OM-2n
| will also cut power after approximately three minutes, anyway.
