Erm, that the OM-2s doesn't have a needle?. Other than that, it should
work. Personally, I prefer to pick a tone I'm interested in recording,
decide where I want to put it in the tone scale on the negative, take a
spot reading and adjust the exposure accordingly. The other tones take
their chances with the film latitude. It's a lot quicker and simpler
than trying to do mental gymnastics in real time.
