The maximum exposure time on the OM2 depends on the ASA settings (assuming
battery survives), so
the number of minutes varies with settings. Also the battery current
consumption in long
exposures, is a bit different between models, as far as I remember. In
comparison, the OM2N time
limit is almost independent of ASA settings.
At really long times the exposure accuracy is low, because the LED limiter is
feeding in a
fictitious low light exposure level.
