stuart,
this would really be nice but given that cosina designed and produced OM2000
was made in collaboration with probobly nikon, this would really be a design
change to fit a motor drive to it. this might even mean a complete redo of the
shutter mechanism for it to tolerate the stress of a motor drive. we can only
hope that there are other things in the pipeline that is along the true OM
lineage and not cosinas in disguise.
