It's been too quiet around here lately, so consider this, all you OM-2
lovers:

What's with this obsession some of you have with the OM-2S?  Or with any
OM-2, for that matter.  I've got an OM-1N, simplicity and elegance
personified.  I've got an OM-3, essentially a 1 with the brain of a 4. 
I've got six 4's, three plain, three of the T suffix sort, and these are
the bodies I use most.  Three of them I've had since 1984, and there's been
nary a problem.  (Believe it or not, not even a CLA, although I'm
considering sending them off to John or Clint this winter.)  

Every time I think about having one of each of the single-digit OM bodies
and getting a 2, I decide against it, because it seems to be neither fish
nor fowl.  To me, it's either an OM-1 with stuff you don't need or an OM-4
without all the stuff you want.  I think of the OM-2 as being the camera
equivalent of the four-seat Thunderbird that Ford made between the original
two-seater and the Cobra.

Where have I gone wrong?  Of course, if someone wants to donate one so that
I may be otherwise persuaded....

Walt
