Looks like a neat camera. Never had an OM2, but no doubt these
companies looked around before they designed something. The
revolutionary OM-1 launched many imitators. The lens indexing and
aperture scale is very interesting.
There was an interesting Mamiya 35mm SLR the PIO in my Army unit was
using. It had interchangeable backs which allow switching film
midroll without rewinding.
