Olympus OM-1

The legendary OM-1. This pair came to me via a couple of amazing deals. The black one I purchased at a thrift store for $25 with three lenses and five rolls of unused film in the bag. The chrome one I bought at a local camera store from their defective camera rack. It had a missing drive cover and the prism had some de-silvering, but other than that, worked perfectly. I replaced the prism with one from an OM-F and replaced the slightly peeling leather to restore it.

    My first "real" camera was an Olympus OM-1 that I got in college back in the 70s!!!

    @brine I own an E-M10 Mark II, and was using an adapted g zuiko 50mm f1.8 so it seemed logical by extension that I should get an OM. Now I understand why this camera is so loved. Its such a refined piece of machinery.
