I just got this OM2, it appears to be in good shape. Well cared for, smooth
operation and very quiet shutter. I put SR44's in it and shot about 2 dozen
exposures and got a mirror lockup on any attempted exposure, manual or
automatic. The battery check light lit continuously when checked, but it
required a reset procedure after each exposure. I put 2 more SR44's in and it
then worked ok, but I haven't stressed it. Will borderline SR44's check ok, but
not perform? Is this considered a hi-drain application and in need of the 357's?
Thanks,
Mickey
