Dear Folks,
I bought a copy of Practical Photographer yesterday, and read the article on
classic cameras, which included the OM2n.
One of the things it said was that it had no mechanical speeds other than B. At
first I thought this was a mistake, as the OM2n has all shutter speeds
available in manual mode.
Then I got to thinking: Why does the OM2n have a lock button for B? Why is it
marked in red? Is it possible that B is indeed a purely mechanical operation
and doesn't need a battery?
So I tried it.
I took the batteries out of my OM2n and set it to B.
It works!
No mirror lock up!
You live and learn.
