Strange Shutter speed in auto OM2-n

I recently noticed a strange behaviour on my Olympus OM2-n. When I

turn the camera to Auto and take a picture the shutter speed is

slower that the speed indicated by the Viewfinder needle. If I take

another shot then the shutter speed works fine.

 

I replaced the batteries to no aval. Also in manual mode it works

fine.

 

Any ideas? Thansk in advanced.

Since it seems to be an intermitent problem (one shot is longer while the next one is o.k.) I suppose it may be a dirty or oily shutter speed magnet: easy to clean by a professional. Would it be a constant problem, I'd say it was a CdS meter needle maladjustment, also easy to repair by a pro. Been there...

 

Good luck,

Thanks for your responses. I bought a 50mm 1.8 lens, and when I use my old 50mm Macro 3.4 lens it seems to works fine. It begs the questions wheather the lens may be defective? I'll run some more tests tomorrow with other lenses I have and see if it is an issue with the new lens.
