The Cosina OM2000 is all mechanical, and so works fine at all functions,
except for the meter of course. This is what makes it one of the few truly
cold weather cameras, like the OM1 or 1n. Sometimes I wonder if the disgust
for the OM2000 is maybe just a lack of the facts. Why does it get praise
when it is configured as a RF and called a B*ssa or Vo*gtlander, and takes
Le*ca lenses, but in its original configuration as an OM, it gets mostly
disdain? Oh well, its good in that it makes them cheap to buy, unlike the
B*ssa's.
