Hi Walt
>What's with this obsession some of you have with the OM-2S? Or with any
>OM-2, for that matter. I've got an OM-1N, simplicity and elegance
I have 2 x OM4Ti's, 1 x OM4, and 2 x OM2n's.
I keep a 4Ti (best one) in my main camera case with flash and
acc's ready to go on the hop. The other 4's are spares.
I find I'm using the 2n most of the time around the house and suburb
probably because it was the first camera I owned back in 81, and
I find its simplicity is wonderful in auto mode, I know exactly what
to adjust and I can do it fast. Its also light and very comfortable.
The 2n is also unsupassed for long exposure night time shots,
as it has two sensors Vs the 4's one sensor, night time shots
have a much better and accurate film exposure for wonderful
ghostly shots.
The 4Ti I use with macro, ring flash, and trips from home as I
can get the results I want in any given situation but it still takes
some thought even with multi-spot. Dont get me wrong, I love
the 4Ti's but I find I have to check settings more than I do
with the 2n.

The 4 is excellent but the 2 is "just right" for most of my shooting.

I'll swap you for a 3Ti ;-)
