I shoot slide film most of the time with my OM2s, and slide film of course
does not have much to come and go on. The spot metering of the OM2s is
perfect for my liking. And it is easy to use, and fast and easy to check
against center weighted metering of the whole scene.

But if I were going to shoot in mostly auto mode or program mode, I'd choose
the OMPC over the OM2s, as it does a much better job with the ESP metering.

I've quit worrying about any of the OM's circuitry failing. Mine all work
like new. If they quit tomorrow, I can buy another one. (As if I need
another one. I suspect I have enough OM's now to outlast me :-)
