The above experience indroduces a question: How true are the aperture
values in the program mode with OM-2SP or OM-40. Both cameras use a stopped
down Zuiko to choose an aperture value in program mode. But if the shaft,
which stops down a Zuiko lens, seems not to have an analog movement
regarding the diameter of the aperture, how exact are the actual values.
The exposure will be alright in almost all cases, because the time is added
via ADM, but sometimes you want to use special aperture values.
