Tom,
Closest thing to "off" on a -2s is to put the meter switch on "Auto" and
the shutter speed to mechanical 60 or B. Better yet, take the batteries
out or flip one of 'em over to cut the circuit.
Please do offer hardware to the list first! It's commonly done here, and
our Zuikoholism prevents this from being a violation of netiquette.
Oh, and regarding Zuikoholism. You got it bad, boy! Bad! <g>
