So I just adquired this minty OM-2n, it's in beautiful condition and everything seems to work, except the Manual mode.
Basically the manual mode acts exactly the same as Auto mode. It doesn't care what shutter speed I choose, it will fire according to the light it's receiving.
I bought 2 new SR44 batteries by Duracell to see if this fixed it but it doesn't. Same result (but accurate readings on the needle).
The mode selection lever works as intended since I can see the change in the viewfinder when I go through all the 3 modes, and the Bulb mode works as intended too.
I searched everywhere and noone seemed to have this specific problem except
that was posted a decade ago.
I paid quite a bit for this camera (imported from Germany) because it's in such nice cosmetic shape, and I also live in a small town with no repair shops around.
Do you guys have any idea of what I could do to fix this?
