Good point Moose! The OM-4 is my daily table stake. I only have the OM-2
and OM-2n for back up and because I think they are still the most beautiful
SLRs ever made ........
Many like the 2S because of the ease of the program mode for lazy shots
............. I have never seen how good performing the program mode really
is
