Rand,
        Indeed you are right and I stand corrected. I was confused by
the statement in Lee Hawkins' Site:

        B8) What are the differences between an OM-2 and an OM-2N?

        In addition to the new features of the OM-1N, the OM-2N has 
        an exposure compensation warning flag, full-frame averaging
        at all shutter speeds, and 120 second exposure limit on
        auto.  The OM-2 limit was stated as 60 seconds in the manual, 
        although at least one person reports that this is not a hard 
        limit --- his OM-2 shutter will stay open as long as required.
        If someone who actually has an OM-2 could confirm this, it would
        be appreciated.

        And even this is an update over what I had printed out about the
OM-2 years ago.

I don't think that I'm the one that has it reversed.  CAMTECH please
verify.
The 2n hat the time exposure limited, I think it was about battery 
life.  The OM-2 was good for around 8 minutes..
