Get an OM-2S with some sort of guarantee (30 days or more). If it works
well, it will probably work for a long time. However, if the board goes,
it's a very dead camera.
For various Zuikoholic reasons I have several OM-2S's and OM-1's. I don't
use the OM-1's much anymore, if that tells you anything. My OM-1N's meter
seems a little more exact and faithful, for some reason, and if you use
flash at all the OM-1N's ready light is something you'll prefer having to
not having. For tramping around where cold or moisture might be an issue,
the OM-1(N) or OM2000 might be more reliable. In high humidity the OM-2S
has been known to lockup its shutter. Cold too.
Something about an OM-2S though.
