Hi
I was interested to read that others have had this problem. My OM-2sp tends
to cccc'lock up" at tghe end of a roll of film. After closing the back the
wind lever will not move. I tried the random behaviour solution (new
batteries, fiddle with the B setting etc and it ultimately winds. I have
noticed that when it winds on it seems to take just a little more effort
than normal, something I do not like doing. Next time I will try that a
little soon er in the routine (but carefully).
