You are, of course, right. However, the 2-series screens can be modified to
fit, and since the screen is already installed, I assumed that this
modification would already have been done if he has a 2-series in there.

Beattie screens will be blank where the number would be on an Olympus
screen.
Also, I thought that the 2-series screens wouldn't fit into older cameras
because they enlarged the holding tab to prevent them from being installed.
Am I right?

This could be the case if you have either a "2 series" screen, or a
Beattie Intenscreen installed in you OM2. Even if this is the case, John
H. can remedy the metering problem, or you could put in a "1-series"
screen, but it won't be as bright.
Also, note that there are 2 separate metering systems in an OM2. One
meter reads light while the sutter is closed and gives you an approximate
exposure reading on auto, but is the real meter reading on manual. in
auto, once the shutter is tripped, the metering switches over the the OTF
meter which reads light "off the film (OTF)" during the exposure & closes
the shutter once enough light has hit the film plane. In manual, this
correction is not present.
so the problem could also be that your OTF meter is working correctly, but
your viewfinder meter is off. I think John H can also fix this.
To check which screen you have, drop the screen down from the prism (there
is a small lever/tab to pull). there will be a glass tab on the screen.
If it is a 1-series screen it will have a number on the tab, most likely
between 1 and 14 depending on the type. If it is a 2-series screen, it
will have a 2 followed by a dash and than a number. Most likely 2-4 or
2-13. Hope this helps.
