Yes, for the most part. The OM2s does not have the button on the lens mount. The
bodies that have the button are those that offer multi-spot meterting, the OM3 &
OM4 series. Sooo...

The OL mount will work with ALL OM bodies. The OM mount works with all bodies
EXCEPT the OM3 & OM4 series.

Note that if you fill in the offending screw hole with epoxy the OM mount can be
made to work with the 4/3 bodies as well.
