Gary,
Maybe all the 'bad' OM-2s (due to circuits) have already been thrown
away. Generally speaking, poor electronics fail faily quickly. The good
stuff last for a while until (eventually) a resister or similar fails
at the normal fail rate (anyone know what that is?).
>From my sample of one the OM-2s survival rate is 100%. However, I am a
relaitvely light user and I quasi baby the camera. Then again it is the
only OM I use on a regular basis and I will be quite sad when it dies
as
there is no body (I've seen) that can replace it. (I like the body
feature set/view finder better then om1, om2/2n, om4ti, ...).
Oh well. They should make some more...

I'm with you on this, Alan, although there are some things I prefer
about the OM-2n, like its smoother film advance and shutter speed
selector.
I think the only way we can try to answer the question of reliability
of OM-2S circuitry is through a poll. I have owned and used a 2S now
since 1985 and its circuits are still OK. Anyone else like to volunteer
info about the longevity of OM-2S electronics?
