Only 80,000? Is there a "0" missing from that? If not, that shutter doesn't
sound like its built to last. Thats only 2,222 rolls of 36 exp. film.!
BTW the OM-1 and OM-2 shutter designs are essentially made of the same materials
where it counts, one should last as long as the other. OM-3 and OM-4 are very
similar too, only difference is an electromagnet holding the second curtain open
in the 4.
(B and 60 are mechanical).
