Uhmm..IMO, the one feature missing on all OM's (except OM1) would be
the "off" position which really turns off the camera (yes yes, I
know...but the OM2's off still enables "auto" to work, as does the one on
10/20/30 - and 40?). Of course, that *could* go to indicate which of the
OM-bodies really is the *perfect* one ;)
