My experience has been to the contrary. My 15 years old OM2n has never
been happy to be left with the shutter cocked. I suspect that the shutter
springs may be defective, but Olympus service has never recognized the
problem, probably because the shutter gets released due to bumps during
shipping.
Anyway, leaving the shutter cocked for a few weeks gives a bad over
exposure. As long as I store that camera with the shutter released
everyting works fine.
My 20 years old OM1 never has had any such problems.
