I received an OM-4t from eB*y that had missing display segments. I took it
apart, found corrosion on the contacts to the LCD display. I managed to fix the
display, but the rest of the electronics were flaky. So, in my experience, it
is a harbinger of possible corrosion else where in the camera. Good to ask
eB*y sellers the condition of the display and missing segments.
On the 2n, I wonder how accurate the CdS cell remains over time, compared
to the more stable silicon cell used for OTF exposure. Something the 4t fixed
(at the cost of battery power).

ps, I can't live without the diopter correction. 4t wins.
ps, ps, Just got rid of two very mint OM-2n's but kept the ugly one with
polished
brass bottom plate. I just have to wear my better glasses to use it.
