Hi Rich:
<< Ironic (after the recent OM-2S reliability thread), that under
"recommended 35mm SLRs", he [Stephen Gandy] says to avoid the OM-2S.
But doesn't say why. Perhaps he, too, was simply repeating
"conventional wisdom" about the OM-2S circuit reliability?
The FIRST thing out of the mouth of the salesman, as I was buying
batteries for my recently acquired OM-2S, was, "You know they had a
history of electrical problems." (But he was looking at it with LUST in
his eyes, I could tell!)
I feel like going around repeating this "conventional wisdom", so I can
maybe get a COUPLE MORE OM-2ss at bargain prices. >>
Interesting story! And perhaps Stephen has picked up this tid-bit
probable [mis]information by working the camera show circuit, where he
hears it from buyers, who pass it on to dealers, who pass it on . . .
There are many interesting adventures and misadventures in life when one
questions conventional wisdom.
