Sounds like the cable release may be made wrong. Does the pin (inner part)
stick out beyond the threads when detached? It should stick out very
little, if at all. If you have a few bends to the cable release the pin
will stick out as much as 3-4mm farther.
As far as the LED meter being better than a match needle: I'll take the
scale in the OM-2S over either LEDs or match needles anyday.
