About this product

Product Information

The Olympus OM-1 35mm SLR Camera, part of the OM series, offers a small and lightweight solution. With this style of the OM-1, Olympus has improved the overall shutter durability. The cameras feature a rust-prevention chemical across the body. This ensures that your camera will withstand the test of time. The ribbons in the cloth shutter are replaced with strings. These allow the camera itself to absorb the shock of the exact mirror movement. The OM-1 SLR 35mm offers freedom on choice of accessories, such as your favorite flash, tripod, or lens. You can utilize a wide array of lenses via an easily attachable design. With the OM-1 body, you can quickly swap out your choices. The body gives a professional photo-taking experience. At the same time, it offers the freedom of lens compatibility with a multitude of lenses available. The extra-large viewing screen on this Olympus series OM-1 model offers ease and convenience for the photographer. It is simple to frame and align the shot thanks to the proportions.These camera bodies feature a rugged design. The modern color scheme consists of a silver design with matte black accents. On the top, the user will notice a multitude of knobs and switches. Each controls a feature that lets you adjust to perfectly capture the scene in front of them. On the front of the OM-1, there is a clear and distinct lens mount. Nearby are two spots to attach a strap. Finally, on the back, the user will notice the screen and a viewfinder just above. This allows the user to capture their photo no matter what their preference is. The device itself is easy and straightforward to use. Consumers can quickly learn how this manual camera works. Once a lens is connected, users can adjust their still via the knobs and switches found throughout the camera itself. Furthermore, the user can adjust the focus. It is only necessary to turn the lens left or right until the desired image is perfectly within focus. The vintage styled Olympus OM-1 35mm manual camera offers a number of features geared towards making photography easy and enjoyable. The device offers an air damper to absorb the shock of the mirror moment. It features a pentaprism with a curved lower surface, offering a multi-use design. The manual focus design allows the photographer to have complete control over their captured frame. The device offers a fully mechanical shutter-release timer, and it has an ASA Adjustment knob, film advance lever, and a threaded shutter release. The camera offers a bay mount design and TTL manual metering via a needle display. These cameras also have an optional shoe mount if the user wishes to use it.

    In the grand tradition of the Olympus OM1, this camera provided the best-expected results.

    The OM1 MD came in excellent condition; however, testing was essential to observe its performance. It was tested on a sunny spring day with an Olympus Zuiko 28mm f/2.8 Manual Focus Lens with a yellow filter and a Kentmere ISO 100 film pushed to 320. The purpose was to see if the shutter, light meter, and camera components worked adequately. The results were excellent; all worked properly and were well-calibrated. In the grand tradition of the Olympus OM1, this camera provided the best-expected results.

  • Compact, tough as nails, and elegantly simple. Buy it.

    This was one of the best manual cameras ever built, and depending on what you shoot, it's a powerhouse. The weak points of this camera are a fairly slow maximum shutter speed (1/1000 sec.), a weaker shutter than say a Nikon F2, and issues related to replacing the 1.3V mercury cell. Google the battery issues, and you can find all sorts of fixes for the battery problem, the best being the MR-9 step-down adapter. The shutter weaknesses are a result of Olympus using a super fancy shutter, similar in design to the famous Leica. Although slower and weaker than the competing Nikons, the cloth shutter on the OM-1 is very quiet, and more importantly, produces very little vibration, meaning that you can get away with slower shutter speeds when shooting handheld due to reduced "mirror-slap." The only ...

  • Accurately described

    Very clean, and only a small ding beyond the damage to the lens frame that was mentioned. The only issue with it is the 1 second shutter speed is shorter than the half second, but that's not much of an issue. I'm not going to be taking many low shutter speed photos on an SLR without a tripod anyways. Extremely quick delivery and otherwise in great condition!

  • Olympus OM-1n

    The Olympus OM-1n Film Camera is a real classic. The totally mechanical mode of the OM-1n does make it so versatile and reliable. I enjoy using the Sunny 16 Exposure guide again. The metering system of this camera is awesome. It is quite accurate, almost fool proof so to say. But of course, the metering is not perfect. In difficult lighting situations or to produce the proper lighting effect, the photographer is still the best judge. The OM-1n is using the now discontinued Mercury 1.35 volt battery. As a substitute, I am now using some hearing aid batteries which last a good couple of months. I improvised a rubber ring so seat the hearing aid battery properly into the battery well. So far, that is quite a cool arrangement when I want to use the meter of the camera. I am again enjoying that ...
