The OM-2N will expose low light scenes down to between 2 and 4 minutes.

you are trying to achieve the reciprocity failure characteristics of the
film you are using may become significant (check the film manufacturers web
sites). Exposures with the OM-2N are *not* erratic, always reproducible and
consistent, providing there is nothing wrong with the camera. Note that low
light performance with the OM-2S(P), in my experience, is not as
predictable. For some examples of low light shots (most with OM-2N) you can
