I would say anywhere from 30-70 a day. Maybe 35-70 would be more appropriate.

That's it, as far as I understand it. It's the extra mechanics going on that
limit the OM-2S (and OM-PC/40) to 3.5 fps with the motor drive.

I think the spot metering in manual mode is enough to sell me on the OM-2S vs
the OM-2N. The program mode is mostly a nice-to-have. I only use it when I
hand the camera to a tyro so I can get in a picture or two! I suspect most
OM-2n's will outlive the OM-2S's though. But I'm not worried, yet.
