I have to believe that the OM-2, OM-2S in auto mode and even the 4/4T work
similarly. I'm sure the electronics improved over time, but my old 2MD has
been wonderful for 20 years.
Write me off list if you really want another body. I have a wide selection.
I think my 4T is sold, but I'll have a 4 coming back from CLA and I have
several nice OM-1MD and also a 2S (and a 10 and a G) that I'd sell for the
right price.
