 1 . Accurate and easy autof lash exposure
The OM-2's electronic brain centrally controls all
exoosure data to do away with complicated cal-

 reached the film surface.
2. Continuously variable magnif ication
By sliding the Telescopic Auto Tube 65-116,
changes in magnification can be monitored con-
 tinuously in the viewf inder.

7. Choice of power sources
The ring flash operates off batteries (inside the T

8. Wide range of applications
Together with other modular OM System com-

photographic situations (Recordata Back, Winder,
etc.).
