For TTL metering, you were always safe from light coming through the eyepiece, 
because the eyepiece is sealed off by the mirror during TTL metering.

The OM-2(n) has two independent metering systems: 1) TTL, and 2) off the 
viewing screen. It is only the latter that is affected by light from the 
eyepiece.

One other thing to look out for, the viewing-screen metering is also affected 
by super-bright viewing screens.
