normal behaviour. The metering for manual match needle operation is in the
top... light entering through the viewfinder is a potential source of
metering errors if you're shooting manually. An eye cup helps. If you're
shooting on automatic, it's a moot point as the metering happens off the
film plane in the innards of the camera.

Subject: [OM] OM2n & light meter problem?
I was shooting with my OM2n in rather sunny conditions. I kept noticing
that my meter would drop a couple of stops the closer I brought my eye
into the eyepiece. It was acting like the light was reflecting off my
face back into the eyepiece and effecting the meter readings.
Is the normal behavior?
Is this the reason people use eyepiece cups?
