The Olympus OM-2 SP (1984) is the late-period OM-2 with two key additions: **programmed AE** and **switchable spot/center-weighted metering**. Same OM-2 OTF metering, same body, same OM mount — but adds the program mode that became standard on later 80s SLRs and a single-point spot meter (vs the OM-4's eight-point multi-spot averaging).
