Olympus revealed the OM-2 to the world as a prototype at Photokina in 1974. The OM-2 arrived, over its life, in three key varieties -- the OM-2, the meter-improved OM-2n, and the OM-2s. Of the three, the OM-2n represented the best combination of features, functionality, and reliability.

Built around an innovative, comprehensive system and a cutting-edge metering system, the OM-2n provided photographers with a meter the likes of which remains unmatched even in 2014 -- 40 years after the prototype's unveiling. It is in no way hyperbolic to say that this camera has the best light meter ever fitted onto a camera.

This video looks at how to use the Olympus OM-2n. The video presents basic details such as lens mounting and unmounting and complex functions like making a double exposure. At the end, I share some sample shots I took with the camera in this video as well as one or two from my black OM-2n.
