I have one and use it as a second OM-4. Other than multi-spot metering,
its operation in aperture priority AE is identical in practical use, except
for a very slightly longer delay from shutter release push to shutter
actuation. Hasn't been any problem switching between the two in that
regard . . . but if you use a motor drive or winder in sequence (which I
don't; OK I've done it once in about 25 years) it won't fire sequences as
quickly. I don't use its Program Mode at all. Have used it in Manual
Mode, but have to remind myself it's spot metering, and use its metering in
that manner, that it's not a weighted average (like the OM-2n or OM-4).

Sorry I can't help you with this. As you might guess, mine's not available
. . . I use it, the OM-4 and an OM-2n regularly to hold different films . .
. the likelihood of any of them being available at any time in the future
is nil.
