The compartment cover is just a very thin screw in piece and I wonder if there is something missing on the bottom of it that takes up the space to the battery.

Any advice guys? Apr 2, 2. Messages: 36, This is going to be the simplest solution to a problem I've ever contributed to. The camera takes two batteries, not one. I've liked mine since I bought it new a year or so after it was introduced. Apr 2, 3. I think two batteries might be your fix? Apr 2, 4. Matt beat me, I Just took the cover of my OM2 two double check. Apr 2, 5. Messages: 37, Apr 2, 6. You guys are kidding!!!!! Why don't the user's manuals I have say that?

On the way home a chap came and said hello and asked me about my camera. He had an OM1. Of course we exchanged and examined. I noticed how light the camera was, how comfortably it fitted in my hand and how exquisitely it was finished. By comparison, my Nikon was a tool, the Olympus was an instrument.

However, I am tempted! I bought my OM2-n in to augment my OM Thanks Richard. Have you seen my OM1 write up? Some of the shots in that one are among my favorites. Great read. Thank you for familiarizinge me with this fine work of art. My father in law left it to me and though I am not a photographer at all I want to become a novice. I hope this will be fine for me. I love the weight n looks already. But, have no idea yet what the different filters are for or other lenses. This will come with time I guess.

I am looking forward to photographing my grandsons football games. Thanks again for an encouraging article. He also left me ALL original manuals.

Time to start reading and practicing. Thank you. My pleasure. Thanks for reading. Happy shooting, my friend. I would say put your pounds into a OM 4T. For rainy days. I was using the OM2n on a rainy sprinkle day last month in Pennsylvania and I wished I had brought along the F4 that was left at home two u.

The OM2…oh what a thing of absolute beauty, along with the OM1 of course. I own both and never tire of telling people how great they are. The OM1 has a small issue with the mercury cell syndrome but it can be re-calibrated. The OM2 takes SR44 cells and works for months or even a year on one set.

I would put my 50,35 and 28 up against any other glass, Leica included. I had one of these a year ago and sold it. I regretted it so much that im just after picking up another.

I wont be making that mistake again! Great review! Always love reading your reviews, James. Wonderfully written. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for reading. Enjoy it. Exposure compensation with the OM-2n actually works from Just keep turning the dial past 2 and it still works perfectly. While there I ran across my old Olympus cameras and lenses…packed away a very long time ago.

And many other Olympus accessories as well. I had almost forgotten what I had. They are beautiful! While my new 7d sits unused in its box. Life is strange. Congrats , the 7D is a load oif crap anyway- photos come out much worse than you see on the LCD screen. I bought the 50mm f1. I have used it regularly since then except for when I thought digital was kind in the years between I have never had this camera serviced and it works perfectly.

I do check and replace the batteries every couple of years. I did add a second one from ebay with a motor drive and a few lenses about 2 years ago. I may add at some point one of the more weather sealed OM4s. And if Olympus ever gets off the micro sensor kick and puts a 35mm sensor in a digital I might buy one of those.

I really wanted an Olympus, but did not like the smaller sensor or EVF. Now I have over a dozen film cameras. This article confirmed that I was so right to buy an OM2n in mint condition earlier today. Hi, Rudy! The great Yoshihisa Maitani resolutely refused to provide a shutter lock on his OM designs. He reasoned that a lock could cause a missed shot, which was a punishment far worse than an inadvertent shot. I love the OM2. The form factor, the simplicity. I have a plethora of cameras, but the OM2 is by far the one I use the most.

The zuiko prime lenses are also very nice and robust. Until it breaks, I never need another camera. Feels good in the hands and very easy and intuitive to use! While the Olymopus OM system was quite an accomplishment, there are several quirks and weaknesses that severely limited its acceptance.

It never caught on with pros. The lens designs were superb, but the mounts were weak. The advance lever was rough. The shutter speed selection dial around the lens was a poor choice though not unique. The aperture selection ring at the front of the lens was odd, and could not be carried through with long lenses.

Don McCullin, now a Sir, took up the system after seeing how light it was compared to his Nikon F outfit. He was taking photographs of down and outs. Awesome review. I found my Olympus on-2n in my car lol! No idea how I got it and no one I knew had any clue where it came from.

Coincidentally I have an Olympus E that I bought an adapter for and used old film lenses on and they all fit on the om! Have had so much fun with it since and the pictures look amazing, especially though the mm! For example if it tells me the correct speed is at f22, it tells me the same thing at f2. Can anyone help??? Regards Brian. Enver I find it amusing your comment about the OM bodies and lenses not being very rugged.

I have an Olympus OM2n I bought new with a 50mm f1. Both that lens and body still works quite well and has never been serviced. Even though I have had and do have a number of cameras the Olympus OM2n is still my favorite.

It is very simple and easy to use plus takes very good pictures. I have been through 3 Nikons and now a Sony A7iii with a Zeiss 55mm f1. I have had the Sony for a couple of months and have adapted 5 good Minolta lenses to it.
