Pros: For the revolutionary era

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Actually my first love had been an OM1n, tried by chance one day in January 1990 in Genoa by the good Giorgio of GR photo, and it was a.ore at first sight... a silent and very sweet shot, a wide and bright viewfinder, (other than those keyholes of today!) difficult to describe the feeling felt at that moment, and yes that I had already been photographing for 8 years both with 35mm (Pentax and Nikon) and 6x6 (Mamiya), to the point of selling the following year all the pentax and part of the Nikon to buy the OM 4 ti ... cameras that have known so much the theater shows where they allowed me to shoot handheld at 1/8" with 100mm (and make ingr 30x40) or around the streets of the Camargue or in the jungle of the Philippines ... then 14 years later .i robbed everything... 5 years ago I bought back Olympus digital, a pen f... I've been fed up with digital for 2 years now... and I bought an Olympus kit with an OM2N and 4 lenses...

Pros: Excellent device as I could see using it

Cons: No defects found

Opinion: Rather than expressing an opinion to which all those who have preceded me have contributed excellently, I would like to ask for information, I don't remember what type of batteries you use, could someone kindly provide me with the information? for the Olympus OM1 I remember the PX625, but for the OM2 I don't remember if the voltage is 3V or 1.5. Thank you

Pros: Size, weight, easy to use

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: After several years I got my hands on a few thousand slides taken from the mid-1970s to the advent of digital with Olympus OM 2. They are mostly dia taken in the mountains and in the family and I was surprised by the quality confirmed by some made to scan professionally. Time, Aperture, ISO, exposure compensation all there! I'm not nostalgic at all and today I shoot with pleasure in digital but how it would be nice to still have a car with these features and that's it!

Pros: Compact, light, and fascinating. Exposure Meter

Cons: Nobody but being a machine of nearly 40 years.

Opinion: It was my father's camera. Then passed to me. My first camera, the one where I learned to take pictures. Probably my judgment is affected by these affective memories, but I have always appreciated the robustness combined with the lightness of the car body. The sophisticated light control system I did not find it inferior to other high-end machines (for example Nikon F2). RnrnI have no experience of this great battery consumption, and I have three machine bodies that I used to rotate with different optics (50mm 1 : 1.4 - Tamron SP 90mm 1: 2.8 - Vivitar 28mm 1: 1.8)

Pros: Compact, light, good design, sophisticated light metering.

Cons: Limited battery life electronic shutter that locks with dead batteries.

Opinion: It 'was my third camera, purchased used. The model is the OM2sp. The disappointment when I gave up completely sudden exhaustion of the batteries. It 'an integral part of a copious photographic system OM. Used in tandem with the OM1, do not forget the spare batteries when you are traveling. He works fully automatic with dedicated flash (type the T32). Exhibitions impeccable in all lighting conditions. Shot silently and with low vibration. A technological jewel era analogica.rn
