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

Pros: Small, compact, elegant, robust and ergonomica.Ha a light meter can give accurate exposures to several minutes in total automatism priority diaframmi.Legge light and adjusts accordingly DURING exposure thanks to an advanced system that reads light reflected from a particular design reflective printed on the shutter, so if someone starts a bit of flash after you press the shutter button, the OM 2 detects this and acts accordingly.

Cons: Lacks the elevation mirror manual, this instead in OM1, does not have the display memory only concealer fixed diaphragms not visible on mirino.rnPer the rest is still a small technological jewel.

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!

Pros: strength, weight, size, etc. ...

Cons: by the user as said above it all depends on batteries, without those nothing works, not even the light meter

Opinion: was my father's car and is now passed on to me and with this I started to get closer to the world of photography. Now I switched to a canon 60d canon because I could fit on the optical olympus and then the cost to develop a film is too high. but if it was not for this I would have stayed in analog. :-)
