The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on August 11, 2019 Pros: Size compared to the reflexes of the time, simplicity and robustness. Cons: Nobody Opinion: I have a 1978 om1 that I have been using for 25 years together with three Zuiko optics: 28mm 2.8, 50mm 1.4 and 100mm 2.8. I love this machine and even today, in 2019, I shoot at least 4 rolls of 36 poses a year, almost always in black and white but also something in color. I went digital in 2003 but I can't pull the plug, unfortunately I don't develop and I'm going to sell the equipment and use trusted labs. Every time they come home the prints are always an emotion. |
 | sent on February 19, 2019 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 March 23, 2018 Pros: Compact, simple, battery-free, cheap and good quality optics, bright viewfinder. Charming Cons: In progress. It would seem no one for an analog. Opinion: I found by chance the OM1n model in the site of a well-known store of used material at a time when I wanted to get rid of the whimper of taking an analogue machine. Purchased together with a Zuiko OM 50 mm f / 1.8. The car was in very good condition, with no obvious signs of wear, only some slight scratches on the bottom probably due to the use of a tripod or grip. Some slight mark on the mirror in the point of contact with the sponge. The machine is incredibly small compared to other SLRs, but with a strong feeling of solidity. I received it a few hours ago and I could not prove it properly, but it seems to me that mechanisms work in a precise way. The ring nuts on the machine obviously have the basic functions: exposure time (positioned in correspondence with the lens coupling) and ISO setting. The luxury features are a lever to raise the mirror, a self-timer function operated by a lever with spring-loaded automatic and the exposure meter. The light meter requires the old batteries to mercurio from 1.35 V no longer on the market, in its place I will try to use an "oxygen" battery that I'm waiting for me to be delivered. The aperture of the diaphragm is controlled by a ring on the lens. The machine has a lever to activate a spot meter, the lancet is shown in the eyepiece. The lens is released using a button on the lens itself. The depth button is also located on the lens. Focusing is performed using a stigmometer. The machine has no frills and you can not cheat on pp, the machine does what you are told and if the composition sucks it is certainly not his fault. It will be a nice gym. In progress. |
 | sent on March 14, 2016 Pros: Sturdy, simple, small, well-made even the smallest details, simple to use. Cons: Expensive at the time Opinion: I bought a OM1-MD in 1977 and used it until last year, with four Zuiko lenses, a 28mm, 50mm, 135mm, and a zoom 35/105 unforgettable objects in all respects, perfect. The so-called time "modern" have forced me to force things to change and go digital, I wanted to buy another Olympus, but digital, the high price stopped me buying and diverted to another brand. I upgraded to a Nikon D5300, I had for an opportunity I could not pass missed, however, robustness and ease of use of small and dated Olympus is unmatched by new productions of this Nikon range. Two years ago on a trip to Salento, a German tourist saw me with Olympus OM1 shoulder, with a smile between his lips and disbelief approached me surprised to see a OM1-MD still in use, he has wanted to see scrutinize very carefully and try it for yourself, for the occasion, I snapped a few pictures. They are small events that do not forget. the stepsone for Olympus in the meantime I had sent my son that you purchased a Pen 4/3 and I convinced him with an adapter ring to use well my old optical Zuiko bright and so he did. If someone wants to buy a vintage SLR, a mechanical analog SLRs, the Olympus OM1 remains the only one. |
user83506  | sent on November 24, 2015 Pros: Small, perfect to always carry around, optical bright and excellent workmanship, to split image focus (say it is trivial? Trying to find a digital camera that we have the ...) Cons: No one ... except that people may Gurd strange Opinion: Before this machine did not understand what was so fascinating in the picture, I had tried a Canon 600D digital, I shot photos automatically trivial without a reason; then came her and say, I took heart. Its simplicity and speed of the adjustments are really incredible, when I picked up I had no photographic experience, but from the first film, I had great satisfaction, since I took her with me wherever I went, the mere fact of having to ponder the shot made me more attentive and after a while I had even the chance to use it for work taking pictures for concerts and events; people were incredulous when they saw me take a car to roll and remained affected by the fact that such beautiful pictures were made with an analogue machine. Personally I have used many beautiful digital SLR Nikon D7500, D800, but none has ever given me satisfaction, I can say that after the OM-1 can not even imagine being able to use an SLR digitale.rn |
 | sent on October 03, 2015 Pros: Compact size, light, mechanical, effective, wonderful design, works everywhere, vibrations contained in support: a complete system. Cons: Nobody. Opinion: It 'was my second camera after Zenit E. Sold for buying this gem. I am 42 years that I take her below, changed the battery once. I photographed anywhere in any weather. He never abandoned once. And 'the fruit of a fantastic project, combines simplicity with effectiveness and efficienza.rnLe Zuiko optics they offered me a lot of satisfaction, but one that I never appreciated the performance characteristics: Zoom 75-150 f4.rnSei years after I gave in what is now my wife's little sister OM10 and so we could take advantage of the park and optical accessories. When she left the OM 2sp remained a pipe dream for our financial shortfalls by students. It could buy used only twelve fa.rnLa OM1 recommend it to anyone who wants a basic but efficient analog in any situazione.rnUn board add a photo of the machine. |
user58495  | sent on September 18, 2015 Pros: Beauty, compactness, robustness, viewfinder extraordinary, completely mechanical, get up mirror manual, shutter speed dial to the outlet port coaxial optics are used at bargain prices as well as the excellent Zuiko lenses Cons: nothing important except: rn1 - Shutter speed and aperture not visible on mirinorn2 - batteries unobtainable need a network adapter that costs around 70 Euros Opinion: Are a Nikonist DOC for 30 years but the only brand that I have always regarded with much respect and attention is Olympus.Di I recently had the opportunity to buy a OM1 and OM2 in perfect condition with objectives Zuiko 28 / 2.8 to 35 / 2-50 / 1.8 - 135 / 2.8 and you say, while you will be astonished by the strength and compactness, elegance and simplicity of forme.Nel precise moment when you put your eye to the viewfinder remains absolutely blown away: it These viewfinders bigger and brighter never seen until then oggi.E guys, good sense of design: everyone, absolutely all lenses have a simple button for the depth of field, making it unnecessary to install this type of control on the camera body. Nikon, Canon and all other instead of to charge to the tune of EUR entered this command almost always of foreign high-end, insert it in the objectives: it serves a small button and a spring !!!!! The'm trying to give both b / it soon will let you know and post the images migliori.Per now I can say, very comfortable, ergonomic, theggere, targets all compact and elegant look gioiellini.Lo shot is one of the sweetest, silent and amortized ever seen! I fell in love! |
 | sent on June 09, 2015 Pros: Compared to the reflex of the period is lightweight and compact, fully mechanical, mechanical shutter curtains in silk, vibration to shoot very low, return mirror amortized air, practical shutter speed dial on the filler coupling optics, reliable and accurate metering is the only component electric, the tiny battery lasts years. Cons: None. Opinion: The first major advantage of this camera is the control system time / stops completely mechanical and its reliability in every occasion. can be used in extreme temperatures as low as -15 ° to + 55 ° where the mechanical system proves infallible with the click guaranteed even many kilometers away electricity, thinking about it is not a small advantage for extreme travelers. The last maintenance've done personally by disassembling, cleaning, lubricating and away everything ok. Personally I find it nice in the shots and meditated for the use of films in B & N, which has a camera optical system complete and of good quality. To date in the digital I own two, too pleasant to hold in hand, working with an instrument precise and reliable! |
 | sent on May 17, 2013 Pros: Size, strength, mechanical shutter, convenient switch the exposure resulting in long battery life, quiet and vibration-free, along with body / lens very balanced Cons: Viewfinder with 97% field of view Opinion: When the OM1 was presented at Photokina 1972, the designers gained against the Olympus cameras of the time do not grams and millimeters but ounces and inches, offering a complete system, including lenses and accessories all consistent with the philosophy behind the project, ie all small. The camera possessed interchangeable focusing screens, electric motors drive, the park fisheye lenses ranged from 8 mm to 16 mm to 1000 mm telephoto, passing through the entire zoom range, with some truly incredible achievements for compactness and performance (such as 21 mm f3, 5 and 35 mm f 2.8 decentrable). rnHo bought in 1974 one of the first models (to mount the engine had to be done in support), I brought the camera everywhere, in deserts as on the snow 5000 m above sea level, making thousands of rolls and I always brought home pictures. Only in 2008 (!) I did a general overhaul, changing the electrical power supply system for the 1.5 V batteries. RnAncora today I bring with me, if, whatever happens, I want to be sure to bringback image rn |
