Drat!
I have just bought an OM2SP with 35/2.8 (for $250), and I have just
checked ... it has a green LED. Oh well, my last OM2SP, bought in
1987, never gave me any battery trouble.
I agree with all the other plusses for the OM2SP. It is a neat little camera.

Hi Marcus:
I have an OM-2S, and I love it!
Reasons not to like the 2S:
1. Early models powered the "flash ready" light with the camera
batteries. This would drain the batteries in short order, if there was
heavy flash use. Olympus offered a fix for this, where the LED used
the flash's batteries, instead of the camera batteries. You can tell
if you have the early model by mounting a flash unit. If the LED is
green, you have the original model. If the LED is red, you have the
revised model. I don't know if early models can still be upgraded; you
might want to check with John H. at Camtech (http://www.zuiko.com) about
this.
