I cannot recommend the OM-1n enough. It doesn't have spot metering, but I
just meter off my hand and open up one stop. Or move closer s othe subject
fills the frame and meter.
It is a better camera than the 2000. It is a professional camera, and
accepts all the Olympus parts. It doesn't have auto. I find manual easy and
I have to learn auto.
My 1n has been through heat and cold, Antarctic dryness and cold, and never
failed me. My auto camera (2SP) fails due to exhausted batteries too often
(still a great camera though).
Go the 1n.
