I just came across a 1983-ish article I'd torn out of Modern Photography;
Keppler's
Notebook, where he said that the OM2 was the first serious s.l.r. to do away
with
mirror lock-up and they suspected that the air dampers wouldn't be effective
enough.
They removed their microscope camera and fitted an OM2 in its place but
found no
evidence of the mirror operation affecting the sharpness of the results.
