I've never had, or wanted, a 2s. It is much more closely related to the
OM-4 series than a 2N, in spite the numbering. Although I use a 4 more
often than anything else, I would likely not take one one your kind of
adventure.

The 2(N), unlike the 2s feels very much like a 1(N) and is highly
reliable. I've been in rain forest happily using my 2N and watched a
Nik*n wunderbrick literally short out inside and loose its mind, beeping
and running the focus motor seemingly at random. Not trying to talk
anybody into anything, just pointing out a real big difference in models
that sound similar in name. The 2(N) is also still eminently repairable.
