Things don't usually go from worse to good, so I'm having a little trouble
with a weird type of good fortune. I have a OM-2S I picked up in a package
deal some time ago. The manual and auto meter readings were off, so being a
sucker for stray tom cats and OM-2S's I sent the body off for CLA and it
came back shipshape and worked perfectly. But I struggled to focus it. I
like 2-13 screens but I focus using the matte portion of the screen about
800f the time, and it was really a strain despite my using the proper -2
diopter. I thought about selling this body, but I really thought something
was wrong with it and just couldn't do it (aside also from being lazy).
Then last night I picked up the camera to use it to compare meter readings
against another body I have. I had no eyepiece with corrective diopter and
noticed that it focused a lot easier than I remembered. I kept playing
with it and discovered that the viewfinder seems to be closer to a -2
dioptric correction than any other body I have. I can focus this body much
more easily without correction than with.
So I still have a camera which is not quite right, but it fits me, who am
also not quite right.
