The OM-2n and OM-2s are completely different cameras. The OM-2s is more akin 
to the OM-3 and OM-4 than it is to teh OM-2 or OM-2n. It uses the semi 
silvered main mirror and a sub mirror to direct light for metering to a 
single 2 segment silicon sensor in the bottom of the mirror box. The same 
sensor is used for manual metering and OTF metering. The OM-2s adds a 
programmed auto mode and spot metering in manual only. It has a fixed hot 
shoe and separate TTL connector on the front of the camera. It only goes to 
3.5 fps with the motor drive due to the extra aperture linkage required for 
program mode.

hope this helps,

Paul Schings
