:i value your 0.02 very much. do you think the OM-2 lenses
There are no 'OM-2 lenses', just Olympus OM Zuiko lenses that work with all OM
bodies, and couple of Olympus OM AF/PF lenses that work only with the OM-101
PF/OM-808 AF.
:and all other repair
:parts are pretty hard to find as it is now.
Repair parts for lenses (like elements) can be difficult to find when the lens
is out of production, like most zoom lenses. Most fixed focal lenses are still
available, and so should their parts. Should, not guaranteed.
:my dad has an OM-2 that he's had for
:20 years he says and it still works well. is it likely to hold up for another
ten
:you think?
Not impossible, especially when it is servived every couple of years. Our
On-List Zuik Doctor aka 'Doctor John' (http://www.zuiko.com/) even has OM-2 /
OM-2n replacement circuits (and meters?) available, but Olympus no longer has
them and Olympus Netherlands doesn't even put a warrenty on OM-1/OM-2 repairs.
So you'ld be safer with an OM-4Ti, imho. If you can't afford one, go for the
OM-2n, not the OM-2. It will be more recent.
:how reliabe is it buying camera's from ebay?
Others may answers that.
