I wonder what he did to make the OM-2 bodies "keep failing" - I've always
found mine as reliable as the OM-1, and certainly more reliable than
_anything_ else, including my OM-4 (which I do not use for long time
exposures any more, as even new batteries will be exhausted far enough after
a few of them to make the shutter lock up - and no, its standby drain is not
among the worst for an old circuit board, I'd say it's average according to
what I've read about it on the list). My 2 and 2n bodies never failed to
perform exactly the way they were supposed to.
