It does TTL flash quite well, too, though. The only thing missing is the
flash ready/correct exposure indicator in the viewfinder (which _is_ a very
convenient feature of the 2n). Also, as opposed to the 2n, it will keep the
shutter open after a flash that was insufficient for a correct exposure
until enough light has reached the film. This can be an advantage in
circumstances where you want the film exposed partly by the flash and partly
by available light.
I own a 2 and two 2ns and overall can't say that I prefer one over the
other. I find that in practical use, both are mostly equivalent under most
circumstances, while in a few special situations one or the other may have a
slight advantage. The 2 and 2n are, IMHO, the best cameras Olympus ever
made. If properly taken care of (a CLA every now and then) both are
extremely reliable.
