<p>Hi guys,<br>

Thanks for the responses. I've got it working now, basically the shutter release had a loose screw which was preventing the mechanism from working fully. Im pretty happy it was such a simply problem. One thing i have noticed is how much the camera is rinsing the batteries!!! unbelievably fast! oh well. cant wait to run a few films through it. thanks for the help.<br>

<p>Hi,<br>

I recently aquired a cosmetically perfect OM2 sp. The only (slight) problem is that it wont fire. The batteries are fine ( battery check works as does the light meter) but the winder will not wind on, nor will the shutter release fire. It does not work on the mechanical 1/60th setting either. The shutter is not locked up so i can look through the viewfinder fine. It will cost more to mend than its worth ( ithink), but I'd still like to have a crack at sorting it out. Ive seen a lot of bad press regarding the reliablity of OM2sp's, but nothing regarding these particular circumstances. Is it a classic fault with this model? Can it be easily sorted? Any help would be much appreciated.</p>
