It was the model favored by Jane Bown, David Bailey and countless other artists.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a clean example (serial number \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e356498\u003c\/span\u003e) of the early version (non-MD) in the less common 'pro' black job, complete with a nice F. Zuiko Auto-S 50mm f1.8 prime lens and the original neck strap and leatherette 'ever-ready' case. We film tested this and it delivered excellent photos with accurate metering--it was a pleasure to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light meter originally used the non-banned PX625 lithium battery but a common 675 zinc air battery is a very good alternative (one is included; a spare is available as an option). \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe camera and lens were tested with film and delivered sharp, well-exposed photos. The only noteworthy flaw is the presence of some black spots at the bottom of the viewfinder display; do not affect the ability to focus. A removable 'Shoe-1' hot-shoe is included but has some cracks (a very common issue) so we advise against using it with very heavy flashes. See photos for overall cosmetic condition. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe included Olympus Zuiko 50mm f1.8 lens and the original 'ever-ready' case are also in very good condition.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.cameramanuals.org\/olympus_pdf\/olympus_om-1.pdf\" data-mce-href=\"http:\/\/www.cameramanuals.org\/olympus_pdf\/olympus_om-1.pdf\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.cameramanuals.org\/olympus_pdf\/olympus_om-1.pdf\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystem: OLYMPUS OM SYSTEM.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamera Type: 35mm Single Lens Reflex with focal plane shutter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm Format: 24mm x 36mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard Lenses: 50mm F1.8 F Zuiko Auto-S 6 elements in 5 groups. 50mm F1.4 G Zuiko Auto-S 7 elements in 6 groups. 55mm F1.2 G Zuiko Auto-S 7 elements in 6 groups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens Mount: OLYMPUS OM Mount, bayonet type, rotation angle 70°, flange back 46mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Focusing Distance: 45cm (17 3\/4“ 1 with all standard lenses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens Accessory Size: 49mm threaded for Fl.8 and F1.4 lenses: 55mm threaded for F1.2 lens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter: Focal plane shutter, ring mounted control, with speeds from 1 to 1\/1000 second plus 8.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-Timer: Exposure Measurement: 4-12 second delay lever type; can be stopped and reset after actuation.
