The OM2s is my favorite film camera for one simple reason, the continous and
easy-to-use spot metering. I rarely take it off manual. I shoot almost
exclusively slide film with it, so I need accurate metering. In tricky
lighting you can only properly expose one part, and I like to chose that
part. I think that is easiest done with the OM2s spot meter, and some
experience of course of what you want.
Now admittedly, I don't have an OM4t. At one time I was sure I wanted one,
but the more I researched how they work, the more I realized I already had a
better metering system for what I wanted, in the OM2s.
