I'm correcting my own post here. You don't need an OM-2000 for
self-timer aperture pre-fire. An OM-2s or later will suffice. I don't
see it mentioned in the manual but the reason I mentioned the OM-2000 is
that I thought it was possible to set the OM-2000 self-timer for 2
seconds so you didn't have to wait the full 10 seconds when you only
want to activate mirror and aperture pre-fire. Would an OM-2000 owner
like to comment on this? It's in my memory for some reason and I should
remove it if wrong.
I was just reviewing the specs of the OM-2000 again. I've never owned
one and I know the quality isn't up to single digit OM models but it
certainly has some attractive features. Dr. Flash would find the 1/125
flash sync speed especially attractive for daylight fill flash and shade
with sunlit background.
