Hello Tomoko, and other OM-2000 owners
I remember having discussed the topic of the film-rewind lever before,
but maybe now that new list members mention the topic again it might
be advantageous to point again to the solution for this.
I just quote from an earlier message posted in June 1998 (BTW, your
warranty will almost be void by now, so you can try the trick yourself
now, Tomoko - your nieces will love it!)

>Frank van Lindert
Only four months of warranty left now... Time flies.
Kind regards,
Frank.
