Ironic (after the recent OM-2S reliability thread), that under "recommended 
35mm SLRs", he says to avoid the OM-2S.  But doesn't say why.  Perhaps he, 
too, was simply repeating "conventional wisdom" about the OM-2S circuit 
reliability?

The FIRST thing out of the mouth of the salesman, as I was buying  batteries 
for my recently acquired OM-2S, was, "You know they had a history of 
electrical problems." (But he was looking at it with LUST in his eyes, I 
could tell!)

I feel like going around repeating this "conventional wisdom", so I can maybe 
get a COUPLE MORE OM-2ss at bargain prices.
