Very clear explanasion. 1 small correction for reference, that small switch below the lens @4:30 is DOF preview. Only top one is used to detach the lens.
I just added one to my collection I had one years ago along with an OM 1n but switched to Nikon when I was a army photographer regretted it always great camera and glass is excellent mine has had new seals and service all for under £ 100 bargain
Hello, I have an OM-2 but the selector lever broke, here in my country it is extremely difficult to find spare parts, but I found parts of an OM-1 with the selector lever, it is possible to use the selector lever of the OM-1 in the OM -2?
My OM-1 finally died…camera tech said….no use spending throwing good money away on it…..ordered a OM-2n (Excellent Condition) from KEH this AM….it will join my OM-10
Yes, do a search on Olympus OM to Nikon F adapter there are plenty of them on ebay. Of course the lens will still be manual focus and it doesn't have any electronics to record exif data. Hope this helps.
Next to the film winder there is a shutter count (small window). Once you wind the film and fire a couple of shots, the shutter count will go number 1 which is the first exposure. However, sometimes you can get 37-38 shots out of a 36 roll of film.
I'm not sure what the current value of the camera is these days as classic 35mm cameras seem to have gone up in price. At the time I purchased it, it was a very good price. Cheers.
I got mine the other day for 150 usd with three lenses and lots of other stuff, but the only local camera store that has one sells the camera only without a lens for the same amount. Private seller usually include a 50mm for around that price.

Thx for your great explanation! It helped a lot. Your camera looks great. Never seen a OM2 without any scratches and stuff. Just amazing! Best wishes
I've just bought one on ebay & are looking forward to giving it a go.
30 years on I still use my om2n. Mail order processing but the metering is still King. Want to learn photography, get a film camera.
Immensely helpful as I figure out my first camera, thank you!
Excellent video very informative.
I have an om1 and om2n and a om4ti.
These Olympus cameras are superb
It's amazing how we are still fascinated by these 40 plus year old cameras...
love the style of the video making. no talking about stuff i don't want to know...

The switch on the lens near the timer lever has nothing to do with releasing the lens from the camera mount, it's a depth of field preview.
yeah, just the one at the bottom.
Holy shit thank you for this comment
Very clearly explained Howie. Well done. What a great camera.

Do your shutter blades return back slower than other cameras? I just got one of these and the shutter blades seem to return really slowly. Thanks.

Alejandro Poli thanks glad it helped.
Great !
You know your OM-2n
Please fix the covers of the motor drive
and the batteries with tape; preventing lost.
What to do if light does not turn on
My OM-1 finally died…camera tech said….no use spending throwing good money away on it…..ordered a OM-2n (Excellent Condition) from KEH this AM….it will join my OM-10
I replaced my batteries but the light is still blinking. Doesn't that mean the batteries are weak?
Hi! Is it possible to use the lens into my nikon d90? Is there any converter to buy? Thanks.
Yes, do a search on Olympus OM to Nikon F adapter there are plenty of them on ebay. Of course the lens will still be manual focus and it doesn't have any electronics to record exif data. Hope this helps.
Hi there, how do you know when its on the first exposure - thanks

What would You Say it's a fair price for this cammera?

I couldn’t find any OM 2n in the market without being overpriced nowadays
