I don't know if the OM2 will allow exposures longer than 1/60 to be
selected, but it definitely will direct a longer exposure if it's not
satisfied with the flash output. This 'feature' vanished with the OM-2n.
IIRC, any shutter speed from 1 to 1/60 is acceptable for X-synch on the
OM-1, but this of course is sans TTL. Would this also be true for the OM-2
in manual?
