Yep. Try this: set ASA 3200, auto mode, and check the meter reading with
a lens fitted and *with the lens cap on*. Both my 2SPs read the equivalent
of 1/15 at f4 approx. My OM-4 reads 1/8 at f4 approx. In manual mode, the
"correct" exposure is indicated also as 1/15 at f4. An automatic exposure
on the 2SP is about 3 seconds yet the meter indicates 1/15. This suggests
that the manual mode metering (and auto mode indication) in such low light
conditions is suspect, and as I said, it resulted in hopelessly
underexposed negs. I'll use auto next time.... I'd be interested to know
if the 4T is any better in this respect. I guess it's not a problem with
the OM-1 and OM-2 since you wouldn't be able to see the meter needle :-)
