Olympus's advanced OM SLR — the OM-2 Spot/Program, OTF metering, spot mode, program auto, OM mount, 1984.

The Olympus OM-2 Spot/Program is a 35mm film SLR from Olympus, a later development of the OM-2 line within the compact OM system. Sold in some markets as the OM-2S or OM-2SP, it built on the earlier OM-2 by adding a program automatic exposure mode and a spot metering option alongside the system's off-the-film metering. It was introduced in the mid-1980s and positioned as an advanced enthusiast body above the consumer OM-10 and OM-20.

In specification terms, this is a single-lens reflex for 35mm film using the Olympus OM mount, with an electronically-controlled focal-plane shutter. It offers program, aperture-priority automatic and manual exposure modes, and it retains the OM-2 family off-the-film (OTF) metering that reads light reflected from the film plane or shutter curtain during the exposure. A separate spot-metering mode is selectable for high-contrast scenes, with readings shown in the viewfinder. Because exposure control is electronic, the camera depends on battery power to fire correctly.

The OM-2 Spot/Program suits users who want automatic exposure with the option of precise spot readings in a compact OM body, useful for reportage, travel and general work where lighting varies. Its OTF metering handles flash and changing light during exposure, and the program mode makes it approachable for faster shooting while manual and aperture-priority remain available for control. It works with the wide OM lens range and system accessories.

When buying used, this body relies on its electronics, so a flat or corroded battery will stop it working properly; confirm all exposure modes respond and the LCD or viewfinder readout is intact. Inspect and expect to replace the foam light seals and mirror-damper foam common to OM bodies. Test the electronically-timed shutter across the range for accuracy, check the prism for foam haze or desilvering, and verify the spot and program functions switch cleanly. Confirm film advance, rewind and the focusing screen are clean and that the meter tracks light sensibly.
