Gosh, now we need a reason to buy stuff? <g>
Okay, here goes:
1. An OM-2 in manual mode has almost the same functionality as an OM-1
(except for the mirror lock-up), but uses readily available batteries.
It's two, two, two cameras in one!
2. If Emilda Marcos used the OM system, she would want an OM-2, because
it has the most shoes!
3. You can make new friends searching the world for an Autoconnector
[3,4].
4. The off switch really (almost) turns everything off.
5. No bad reputation for eating batteries.
6. Probably the best build quality of any OM.
7. Genuine match-needle metering - no stinkin' LCD's!
8. The motor drive cover fits in the slot of the Winder.
9. Nice satin finish on the chrome body.
10. Own a piece of history! Don't you remember how Olympus stunned the
world with the OM-2 in 1976? The OTF metering and TTL flash were
sensational then, and still sensational now.
11. If you don't buy an OM-2, you'll just spend your money on something
foolish, like guns, whiskey, or Enron stock. It's an investment (uh
huh).
