The mechanisms of the OM-2s and OM-10 are entirely different. The OM-2s
has one escapement retard mechanism to delay the release of the mirror,
and another to delay the action of the aperature stop-down arm -- I
assume these are to allow "time" for the program function to operate.
The 2s also has a sub-mirror which the 10 doesn't.
