This Camera is in great condition, fully tested and serviced. Really lovely for all levels of photographers from complete novice through to ‘shutter nutters’. A real gem of a camera and really hard to find now days, especially in this condition. This has a bright view finder with easy to read light meter. These are fantastic cameras that are growing in popularity. As with all our cameras, they are fully tested. Pair it with one of our OM range of lenses to get a perfect setup. If you would like us to put a starter pack together, just ask and you could save some money and get started in 35mm photography.
The Olympus OM-1 is a fully-mechanical, 35mm film SLR first produced in 1972, though back then you’d never find an OM-1 on the shelves. That’s because in its original iteration it was called the M-1, named to immortalize its legendary designer Yoshihisa Maitani. When Leica discovered that Olympus had made a better camera than their identically-named and vastly inferior M-1 rangefinder, the boys from Wetzlar had a tantrum and “requested” the name be changed. Olympus bowed and changed the name to OM-1.
We always have stock waiting to go on so if you are looking for something in particular please ask we can often help.

You have 30 days to check the item yourself and if there is anything you are not happy with you can return for a replacement, repair or refund.
We check our cameras and use a laser shutters speed tester to check accuracy, light seals and mirror cushions are replaced. the camera is checked for light leaks and lubricated and adjusted prior to shipping on older cameras this may take a day or two but we will keep you updated
