Basically, it is quite appealing even to a OM1 user because OM2 is just an OM-1 with so much MORE to offer. It operates exactly like an OM1 when the model selector lever is turned to "Manual", the viewfinder displays has same scale with a + and - as with the OM1. The auto exposure refines a new level of control to camera handling, where it enables a photographer to be more confident and responsive, and most often with much more accuracy to handle the many photographic situations. The TTL OTF flash metering, in particular, opens up a lot of photographic possibilities which previously involves tedious exposure calculation. The original method used in the OM2 introduced way back to 25 years ago has, today evolved into a mainstream flash exposure control method used virtually by all camera manufacturers.
Some of those proprietary technologies used in the camera has never been seriously challenged by any other SLR manufacturers evn until today. The Pentax LX of 1980 came quite close to imitate the concept of TTL OTF direct metering method of which I thought it might turn into a serious contender to the OM system during the early '80 but strangely Asahi Pentax has decided only their flagship model, Pentax LX to adopt the system. The superiority of the metering system used in the OM-2 can best be interpreted in: It can meter in automatic mode up to 60-120 seconds.  An interesting feature is that in the automatic mode, the meter is actually a stopped-down type, although you can view the readout at full aperture. The exposure control system in automatic mode is of the aperture-preferred type (you set the aperture and the electronic shutter sets the shutter speed.

The Olympus OM System Accessories

The essence of the OM system is, every system components are being designed together and at the same time, there was no need for compromises to accommodate out-of-date units or obsolete mechanisms. Most of them were designed with back and foreword compatibility in mind and so any of your investment will not be going to waste thoroughly. Regardless it is a high speed Motor Drives, a slower power winder, one of 14 types of focusing screens, all those handy viewfinder attachments or as simple as an basic accessory such as a lens filter etc.. each and every system accessories will have no problem fitting into older or newer bodies except some extra features incorporated into newer camera bodies will be disabled when used with such older accessories.

Some of the original idea pioneered by Olympus was indeed, other than practical, but they are also very user friendly. For an instance, even though none of any Olympuses were fitted with an interchangeable finders feature, but they compensate such drawback with an interchangeable focusing screens so as to allow users to interchange them easily without having them to be factory fitted - What's big deal ? Well, competing models such as Canon A-1 which was introduced 5 years later than Olympus OM1would still require the user sending the camera back to the factory for changing the focusing screen ! ... the idea of interchangeable focusing screen with fixed finder through the lens mount pioneered by Olympus was also "borrowed" by Pentax for their pro-class Pentax MX in 1976; so did the Nikon's FE of 1978 (The competing mechanical Nikon FM series was eventually fitted with such feature only in a very late 1982 with their Nikon FM2!)
