Hello Adi,

Thanks for the story.

Your experience might just ring a few bells with OM2 owners. My OM2 is 
with my best fixit man again who says, once again, (3rd time in 3 years ?) 
"nothing wrong with the shutter magnets - can't find anything wrong; may be 
unfixable".  And I remember about 4 - 6 weeks ago a couple of others on this 
list saying similar about OM2.

When I get it back (coming week) first thing I'll do is clean those contacts.

BTW, re: my 100mm f/2 that kept falling off my camera (well, just once was 
quite enough, thank you) he (the nice man) said that the retention button 
mechanism was just worn out. He fitted a used one from another lens, he 
said. Goodness knows how much use that lens had before I got it. <g> or ;-( 
as the case may be.
