Yes, that's how you have to do it with all OM mount bodies - except - 
the OM2000. The OM2000 isn't really an Oly body, having been made by 
Cosina. It isn't really an OM system body either, as it doesn't work 
with a number of parts of the system. It does work with OM mount lenses, 
extention tubes, etc..

In common with other related Cosina made bodies for other brands/mounts, 
it has a true double exposure feature where the shutter may be rewound 
without engaging the film wind, so registry is always perfect. It also 
has flash sync at 1/125 sec. the highest of any OM mount body.

Actually a nice little body, all mechanical, all manual, with coupled 
spot metering. Nice finish too, as was discussed a bit ago. Because it 
has a vertical travel metal shutter and mirror/aperture prefire with the 
self-timer, Gary used it a bit in testing vibration problems with some 
mid-zoom lenses. It was about the same as OM-4 in that regard, vertical 
vs. horizontal didn't seem to make much difference, but both were much 
better than the other OM bodies without mirror/aperture prefire..

I have one I'd be willing to part with. Drop me a line off list if 
interested.
