Once you try the silky-smooth film advance knob and notice the quality of
build/general feel of the OM-2n I'm sure you will be 100 onvinced.
Additionally, the 35-70/4 is a considerably beter accessory than the
standard 50/1.8 zuiko. If all works well, I'd go for it. If nothing else,
it'll be a fantastic back-up to your OM-4 once it is repaired. As for spot
metering, in practice there really is not a LARGE percentage of shots that
require this feature, and with pratice and/or bracketing, your OM-2 will
perform every bit as well as your 4.
Just my $.02...

Subject: [OM] Good price? OM2n w/35-70 f/4

Hi all,
Just been looking at this OM2n with 35-70 f/4 combination in a dealer for
145 euro (=145$).
All seems working (new batteries):
- body: has a shoe 4; forgot to check foam but 6 weeks "warranty" (to find
faults...)
- lens: aperture is snappy, all glass is bright, with original hood. Are
there SC/MC versions? What s/n indicates MC or is it marked?
My OM-4 has flying shutter strings which I guess I have to get fixed (CLA
here is 140euro). How will I get on with an OM2n? Will I miss the spot
metering?
Apart from the automatic reply "buy it" what do you think?
Thanks
jez
