The Olympus OM-1 is a masterpiece. All the controls you need are right where you need them and there on the lens. Once you’ve set the ISO for the film you’re using, you can shoot unfettered with your eye in the viewfinder, monitoring composition, focus and exposure, your right hand taking and winding the film on, and the left hand focussing, moving aperture and shutter speed. For a newcomer to photography, it’s superb. It’s shows you the ropes so you can understand speed, shutter and aperture interaction immediately. My late Father had one which I have taken on myself and it’s the only manual camera that I’ll use. I don’t want to use anything else! Great review.

I think I had an Olympus for about 20 years, before I traded in all my gear for a Nikon N90s (and then Nikon digitals). When I upgraded to the OM-2n, I gave my OM-1 to my son. It was his first 35. But, guess what? I am selling all my extensive Nikon gear to go back to Olympus and get the E-M1 Mark III with a 100-400 and a 12-40, plus a couple of accessories.

OMD EM5s are remarkably like the OM1 and 2 in looks, right down to the more pointed pentaprism. My EM10II s are more like the OM10 as you might expect. I had an OM10 when I was 15. Cheap as chips and the shutter sound was smooth as silk, just like the 1 and 2, making so many SLRs sound noisy and clunky. If I could afford it I would stretch to an EM5 I hope they don't take away the Olympus trade mark, would be a huge mistake.

Excellent review, thumbs up. If I might add, you forgot to stress its strongest point, and that is the fact that it's one of the few cameras where you can compose, select aperture, shutter speed, and focusing without ever taking your eyes off the visor. p.s. The OM was originally called M for Maitani, and after Leica complained they decided to add the O for Olympus, hence OM (Olympus-Maitani) :) p.p.s. Re: battery. The camera voltage can be very easily changed from 1,35v to 1,5v, which will allow you to use nowadays batteries.

The foam used as cushioning on top of the prism degrades and east away the coating on the glass reflex prism. The foam turns into a gooey mess, it can also migrate down into the mechanism and cause mechanical issues. It is not a hard fix even for someone who has no experience working with cameras, you do have to be careful tho. We if you have an Om1 om1n or om1-md that has been to a shop in the past 20 years it probably has been done already.

6:13 It's charming the way you actually showed the viewfinder. Olympus OM1 and OM2 viewfinder images were huge (97% versus about 85% on many SLR) and zi actually felt that I was looking over the top of the camera not through it. The high eyepiece mand small camera meant that the viewfinder image emerged in with what you could see over the top of the camera and your left eye would see right past the camera as well owing to the compact size. It was a triumph of design. The smallest pentaprism ever and the largest image! Then that lovely quiet shutter and mirror.

@OldCameras7 жыл бұрын
Hi, it's a nice choice indeed. I think 100 is not ideal for London most of the time, especially in winter. 400 is a nice compromise. Also for street photography, you probably want a relatively fast shutter speed, so the higher the ISO the better (so you can still use a reasonable aperture to ensure you're in focus). I'd go for 400 too.

Nice review of a great camera. I have the OM-2n, its close cousin. I used to shoot with it frequently until the shutter became off/sticky. I am tempted to open it up and see if I can fix it. The cost to repair was more than getting another one on eBay unfortunately. Cheers.

+Shawn Brezny Yes I know what you mean. I only pay to repair if the camera has sentimental value like, say, if it was given to me by my dad or uncle or something like that. Sometimes its best to just get another one.

MIRROR UP also a must when making photoos via a microscope.

Very disappointsd in the build quality of the OM1, hardly had it when the light meter went on it and was quoited mad money to get it fixed!!, So left it and went back to my OM10 still working perfect decades later.

I have an OM-2n with Zuiko 50 1.8 lens which I bought from a guy on facebook for about $250 and I can say mine is in really good condition, it looks like new

I just saw a M system lens on Ebay. 50mm f/1.4. I was really surprised!

Lovely overview, thank you. This was my first SLR camera. I wish that modern DSLR's provided focus aids like the OM-1 did (split screen, as I recall, with a prism option). Anyway, if you ever get the chance, try the 50mm f/1.4 which is even sharper with better rendering than the f/1.8!

A list of cameras sharing the exact same prism if you fancy repairs. OM1, 1N, 2, 2N, 10 , G , 20. I'm not totally sure if this list is accurate but it seems legit. I successfully swapped an om10 prism into an om1 body so I know those 2 at least are compatible. You can get om10s really cheap sold as spares repair.
