Original OM-1 batteries are no longer readily available (it is illegal to sell
them in most countries including the US) You can get a converter or have it
physically converted by Camtech or other repair facilities. The last convertor I
bought was about $30.00.
The mirror lockup on the OM-2 MAY just be a dead battery! the OM-2 was designed
to lock up the mirror when the battery went dead, the fix is pretty simple, set
the camera to bulb (B) and install a new battery. If that does not do the job
then you probably have a more serious problem which would require a trip to a
repair facility.
