Hi,
My trusty old OM-10 died recently and I looked around for a replacement, eventually settling for an OM-2n, and I saw this one, body only, on eBay. The bloke had written a really rubbish, really sparse description (he just wrote "excellent condition with new batteries and lens cap", that's all) so nobody was bidding on it, and I got it for £41! Apart from being a little dusty round the nooks and crannies it's like new - all dials are tight and clicky and clunky just how they should be.
There's just one thing I need to know about it that I didn't already - there's a little round socket on the side set into a little round housing. You can turn the housing to F, P or X. What is this for? Sorry if I'm being a bit of a spaz. I figure it may be for using some other sort of flashgun, but I have the T20 flash anyway which is fully automated with the OM-2 so intend to use that.
Anyway, I'm off out now to buy a film and put it through quickly then into a 1 hour D&P place to check everything works! Fingers crossed...
