Hmmm, my understanding of "painting" with light is that you take the
normal exposure using whatever lighting. Then you shut off all the
lights and open your shutter and add extra light to the scene in
specific areas right? If that's the case, then why not take the
initial exposure of the OM-2S, turn off the lights and then screw in a
locking cable release (being careful to not move the camera) for the
part when you're adding light through the lens? If you keep everything
else dark the cable release won't show up in the shot.
