Hello,
I'm new to the list. I came across this list on the internet, looking got info
on things Olympus - I've owned an OM2-SP for several years now. Its a great
camera.
I'd like some advice... I want to buy a second OM body, so I can run two
different speed films at once. I'm doing an increasing amount of photography of
ancient monuments / archaeological sites / archaeological artefacts (I'm an
archaeology student), and find myself one minute in broad daylight and the next
minute in the corner of a dark trench..and having to take accurate exposures
quickly).
I've been very happy with the OM2-SP (apart from the fact that you can only use
Spot metering in Manual mode...but I can cope with that).
I could just buy another OM2SP body. But I'd like to hear people's opinions on
other OM bodies. Are there any people who can compare their experiences of the
OM2SP with, for instance, the OM2n and OM4? Or, perhaps there are people who
work in similar fields who still insist on using a manual OM1/OM3? Are some OM
bodies more reliable than others? Is the metering more accurate on particular
models? Are some tougher than others? Are some easier to use? Do the batteries
run out quickly on some? Is the OM2000 really a piece of rubbish? If I don't
need 'shadow/highlight' should I get another OM2SP rather than an OM4, or does
the OM4 have some extra advantages?
many thanks for any replies
