Released in 1973, the OM-1 is the professional version of the equally famous OM-10, and one of the finest SLRs ever produced by Olympus. It's a very intuitive, comprehensive and compact professional camera. It is 100% mechanical and would still be functional if you run out of battery, even though you won't have the light indication of the cell. Featuring a large, bright viewfinder with interchangeable focusing screens and center-weighted TTL light metering, it delivers precise exposures in any condition. Its rugged, lightweight build houses a cloth focal-plane shutter with speeds from 1 second to 1/1000 plus Bulb, while the Olympus OM lens mount provides access to a vast range of high-quality Zuiko lenses.
