![]() | Olympus OM-1 Pros: Dimensions, simplicity of use, completely mechanical operation (the battery feeds only the light meter), today's economical and high-quality optics, wonderful design. Cons: The camera should be measured with the meter of its time, impossible to compare with the current, I do not find any particular design flaws. Opinion: I still remember the publicity that announced it: "She was born" she acted. A very pure design and so contained dimensions that the Nikon F2 in comparison looked like tanks. A highly respected optical park and very high reliability in spite of the size. Photography in its purest expression, mechanical times and diaphragms, no automatisms, a light meter with a needle, that's all. Designed by the genius of the engineer Maitani (OM stands for Olympus-Maitani) is a milestone of analogue photography in which he has indicated a new way, introducing a vast system, made of optics, motors, backs, flashes and accessories that today They find at prices of course very affordable. Folco Quilici and Oliviero Toscani were the spokesmen of the time, meaning that Olympus was winking at professionals. Of course, it has passed by water under the bridges, its operating speed today makes almost smile, contrary to its timeless charm, which instead, a little moves. sent on February 19, 2019 |
