My first OM was a 2n. I recently acquired a second one, to go along with
the 4T and 1n. The 4T is my favorite, for all the usual reasons. However,
there are times when the 2n or 1n is better suited to the task at hand. For
travelling light, in circumstances where reliability is a high priority or
when I'm just feeling very artsy, the OM-1n is the camera of choice. For
tasks like slide duping or flat copy work, family snaps or high risk
situations (i.e. rafting), the OM-2n gets the nod. I try to make sure they
all get regular exercise and the 1n and 2n's see backup detail to the 4T
with either B&W or chrome film or different lenses attached. I hope to get
another OM-1n someday. Of maybe if I hit the lottery a 3Ti, huh?
