David,
I have an OM-1 and an OM-1n - and recently aquired the same combo for my
wife. Last time we went out I selected the "camera with no film" from her
case to load it. Well; it was actually the "camera with half a film" and
opening the back probably scorched a good portion of the exposed film. I was
in a hurry of course, and the error was one of not paying attention, rather
than getting flustered manipulating the camera itself.
From a general practical standpoint I might favor a duplicate OM-2SP. But it
depends on how readily you can keep track of two cameras, which one is which
at any given time, with different features requiring difference approaches
to individual shots etc. If most of your shooting is done with plenty of
time, set up etc, it might not matter.
Cheers,
Lee

Subject: [OM] Which OM body?
Hello,
I'm new to the list. I came across this list on the internet, looking got
info on things Olympus - I've owned an OM2-SP for several years now. Its a
great camera.
I'd like some advice... I want to buy a second OM body, so I can run two
different speed films at once. I'm doing an increasing amount of photography
of ancient monuments / archaeological sites / archaeological artefacts (I'm
an archaeology student), and find myself one minute in broad daylight and
the next minute in the corner of a dark trench..and having to take accurate
exposures quickly)... [etc]
many thanks for any replies
