Hi all,

The OM-2n has an exposure limit of about 3 minutes, no matter the ISO
setting. On the other hand, my plain OM-2 does up to 0m30s @ ISO 1600,
1m40s @ 400 and about 6 minutes @ 100.

That's the way most cameras work. Even the spot meter on the OM-4 has a
noticeable low-light limit -- try to take a spot reading in total darkness,
ISO 3200 and diaphragm wide-open!
Best regards,
