On the OM-2sp, it's simply the one available manual setting (1/60th of a 
second, with or without batteries) besides "B" (bulb).

Yes, but most dealers don't do enough volume to make it worth their while to 
carry it.  Try B&H Photo in New York.  Their Web page is at:

    www.bhphotovideo.com

The 2-13 screen is listed there at $42.50 U.S. (approx. 370 SEK according to 
today's rates).

Good luck!
