Franz Pangerl - The World of OM Systems writes " The OM-2 is at present the 
most efficient slow-speed automatic camera...Olympus specifies 60 seconds as 
the limit..which I have far exceeded........with exposures between 6 and 8 
minutes....however power consumption equivalent to 3600 exposures at 1/60 
hence Olympus do not not proudly proclaim record because of battery 
consumption.
