At ISO100 EV2 equates to 15secs at f/8, Warren, but 2mins at f/8 is EV-1.
That suggests to me that you will certainly need cloudless weather, because
the E-330 metering won't keep up with anything darker than 15 secs at f/8 -
but I can't say if the E-330 shutter and sensor will deal with a 15 sec
exposure and give acceptable results.

Subject: [OM] E-330 metering
If you would help me get my head around this issue, I'm going to the slot
canyons of S. Utah in a few weeks and I dug up my notes from my prior OM-4T
(wonderful camera-still have it) and the exposures were around f8, 15
seconds. Will the E-330 handle this? The Japan E-330 site says metering
range of EV 2 to 20 at 100 ISO. I would like to shoot at f8 or f5.6 with the
11-22.
If it gets cloudy above the canyons I would expect another loss of light of
3 stops or so, meaning f8, 2 min (f5.6 1 min or f4, 30 sec). Will the
metering system handle this?
I could always take to OM4-T but this seems a step backwards.
