Olympus OM-1 and OM-10 , compact competence from the hand of Yoshihisa Maitani

[@jonvincentmusic]

I loved how with film cameras your money really only bought different facilities or better build quality. If you put the same lens on them and used the same exposure settings, you got exactly the same shot whether you used an OM10 or an OM3Ti (etc). It's different with digital cameras. The cheaper ones are purposefully engineered to not give as good results as the expensive ones, either because the sensor is smaller / lower resolution or because the firmware is not as advanced.

So true! Digital is like fast food. Quick satisfaction but short lived and forgettable.

I just discovered the om series and have been trying the OM1nd and like very much. Watching all the utube videos posted about the OM caneras. I enjoy your series of videos on classic vintage cameras. The architectural photos were so interesting compositions.

Welcome aboard! Your appreciation is what we work for.

I just got an OM-1; it is so stunning! And since I was also considering getting an OM-10, your video was super helpful for reference purposes. I love the way you introduced and brought back at the end, "grandfather and grandmother"--:) Good job!

[@TechHeritage]

I suggest you go ahead and get the OM-10 as well. It will be a great duo and an insurance policy. You will be super-impressed with the lenses too.

OM-20 should be a better choice of OM-10. OM-40 too.

Great video. I have an M1, an OM2n, and an OM10 Quartz. They awesome and They work very well in 2024. Jewells Made by Olympus

I could not have said it better myself. Thanks for sharing.

Great info I will get the OM-1 camera soon I have a Nikon F and a couple of Cannon AE-1 programs and my father gave me a German Vito -B. And soon he will give me his Minolta X-8000. But I have always wanted a OM-1 ever since I saw one in 1972 while stationed in Okinawa but it was not in my price range then .

[@TechHeritage]

Yes... go for it. Owning the OM-1 in mint condition is like owning a Picasso. A camera by a great artist and engineer, Yoshihisa Maitani. It's value is greater than its parts.

I have a few notes about the Olympus OM 10. If you put it in manual mode without the manual adapter the shutter will default to a speed of 1/60 of a second which is the maximum flash sync speed for this camera. Since the Olympus OM 10 does not have a PC sync port, that can easily be solved by using a hot shoe adapter that has a PC sink port. I find it works very well.

[@TechHeritage]

Great observation and tip. Thanks for that.

I’d really like a Pentax series, especially the MX, ME, and ME Super, their first “M” miniature series. I have an ME Super and an (unfortunately) broken ME. Excellent video.

[@TechHeritage]

Two Pentax videos are coming. Asahi Pentax SP1000 and K1000. Unfortunately your wish list is a little down the list. We will get to them eventually.

[@smkunder1]

I was just given an OM 10, so this is fantastic information, well done!

[@TechHeritage]

Awesome! Keep it forever. Pick up some lenses while they are still affordable.

[@robertknight4672]

I picked up an OM 10 back in 2020. I don't have the manual adapter but even with just the aperture priority it's a pretty solid solid camera.

[@philiph6488]

Excellent video

[@TechHeritage]

Glad you liked it. Please subscribe. There are many more videos where that one came from.

As a long term OM user,I still keep a M-1 as my collection.

[@TechHeritage]

Do you really mean M-1? Before Olympus was forced to change the name of its cameras to OM?

[@SamsonCBLau]

@@TechHeritage Yea, the M-1 (before Om-1 model)lucky I got one
