Second - Is the A2 mount properly engaging with the aperture sensing cam in the 
lens throat of the OM4?  If it is missing the cam,
the metering will be way off.  Check by mounting the lens while you look 
through from the film plane (with the shutter open on B
unless you care to cut a hole in the shutter blind :-))  Looking from the film 
plane, the cam starts at about 2 o'clock with out the
lens mounted, then should get moved round to maybe 11 o'clock.

You can also watch the meter info tab move as the mount is put on the lens to confirm that that part is working. It moves quite a way on the 500/8
