RK,
  If it came out back when the OM2sp was released, it probably wouldn't
work now anyway.  The reason for this is that reciprocity failure is a
characteristic of the film used and almost all films in use today are
quite a bit different from the ones in that era.  The principle would
still be of some use though.
