Oh, we are a nice bunch indeed, as long as you don't mention wars, cars,
bracketing... ;)

For the OM-2 (this is to say old type, I don't know about the OM-2n, though I
think it's the same) it would be from 12 to 1600. The OM-2s goes from 12 to 3200
and the old OM-1 goes from 25 to 1600.
Hmmm, I just realize you're asking EV ranges for the meter! Well, nevertheless,
here you have the iso-settings.
As for actual EV ranges, the auto-mode can deal with: the OM-1 doensn't have any
and very very low for the OM-2! With the latter I have done some auto-exposures
in the order of 3min+. The OM-2n cuts out at 60sec (if set at at 100 ISO). Costs
a lot of battery though.
