As I recall, the Ts came out when I was still at Olympus. Black finish was
available first. Champagne users had to wait.
All 2Ss left the factory with the GREEN vf LED. The red modification came
as a service-only option later. Clint can correct me on this if my memory
has failed me.

| At 08:58 12/31/00 , Chris pondered:
|
| I'll weigh in on the 4T versus 2S. Actually there are four bodies in this
| class, the OM-2S, OM-4, OM-4T (black) and OM-4ti (titanium).
|
| In operation, the OM-4, 4T and 4ti are all the same (except for one flash
| mode).
| (1) There is no difference other than the color of the 4T and 4ti. |
| Two potential issues with the OM-2S in addition to a circuit that can no
| longer be replaced:
| (1) The flash ready signal in the viewfinder on earlier ones is green and
| is powered by the camera batteries. These will eat the camera batteries
if
| you use a flash frequently and leave the flash on when you do. The later
| ones and older ones converted to a newer flash ready circuit power a red
| LED in the viewfinder using the flash, not the camera batteries.
