Thanks Gary, John, and everyone else who was able to help. I would love, of
course, to read the 2n manual, but it wasn't included in this private sale.
My references were the FAQ, and this list. A quick run through a 10 shot
roll of Agfa HDC 100 has shown the meter to be exposing very well, and
within 1/2 a stop of my OM1, so things are looking good.
One other interesting aside, the guy had a silver-rimmed 28/2, marked MC,
but I didn't get the serial number - I was surprised how small it was,
though.
BTW, Jim, my 2n locks up (requiring use of the reset switch) if fired with
no batteries, except on Bulb.'
Thanks again,
Andy

Subject: Re: [OM] About the OM2n...
The OM-2N has one mechanical, battery independent setting -- "B".
At any other shutter speed, the camera won't fire w/o batteries,
whether in OFF or not.
When in OFF, the camera is actually in a limited AUTO mode, with
shutter speeds in the 1/30 to 1/1000 sec. range. This info. is
provided in the Q&A section of the OM-2N owner's manual.
Enjoy your OM-2N. It was my first SLR, and is still one of my
all-time favorites.
