The S20 is usable with other OM's as well as any camera, but only in auto or
manual mode. No TTL.

The image will vignette at 600mm or greater because the OM-2000 does not
have an oversized mirror like the other OM's, as well as most pro level
SLR's.

The spot metering is limited to a single real time spot reading ala the
OM-2SP.
