Yeah, I get the impression that when I sent it in they fixed the wonky
manual speed dial and that was about it -- if it's something I can safely
ignore (and keep working around) for now, then I'll do that and then send it
off to you/John once I'm back in Canada again and can afford to be without
it for an extended time. As it is, I have a spare OM10 body with me that did
the job while the OM2S was off being looked at, which worked okay, but I
really missed spot metering (and the 2-13 screen makes an _amazing_
difference, now I have the chance to compare them).

Ack.. Well, I suppose I can just hope nothing goes wrong with it as a
result -- it seems fine so far, at least.

Hm. Okay, I'll steer clear of that for now -- thanks for the warning!
