I think the OM-4 is one of the best values out there. But I
think it is nearly the equal of the 2S in terms of the risk
of getting a flawed one. I don't think I'd buy either a 2S
or a 4 from anyone other than a list member or KEH. I'd be
much more inclined to take a eBay dive for a 4T. I may be
overly cautious about making the buy, but that shouldn't be
interpreted as saying anything bad about a good, working
version of either the 2S or 4. I love 'em both (my 4 gets
the Kodachrome 25 till death do them part).
