Back in the mid 70's I had a black OM-1 for about two years then sold it and bought the even better OM-2, also in black. I had the autowinder on my OM-2 as I could not afford the motor drive. The adverts for OM's featured most of the top photographers of the time. Great video, brought back some memories.

The Olympus OM-1 is a masterpiece. All the controls you need are right where you need them and there on the lens. Once you’ve set the ISO for the film you’re using, you can shoot unfettered with your eye in the viewfinder, monitoring composition, focus and exposure, your right hand taking and winding the film on, and the left hand focussing, moving aperture and shutter speed. For a newcomer to photography, it’s superb. It’s shows you the ropes so you can understand speed, shutter and aperture interaction immediately. My late Father had one which I have taken on myself and it’s the only manual camera that I’ll use. I don’t want to use anything else! Great review.

And I have used it and the looks I've received are priceless in the day of digital and smartphones. And have received many compliments from said people while surrounded by them all wanting to hold it and look thru the lens. Many older people have nodded smiled and said this was one of their family cameras to shoot important events. What a wonderful camera. I'll keep it alive as long as I can per my instructions.

I really enjoyed this. It was my first decent camera 1972. Previously, I had used a Petri with their 45mm f1.9 lens from 1955-1972. I think I had an Olympus for about 20 years, before I traded in all my gear for a Nikon N90s (and then Nikon digitals). When I upgraded to the OM-2n, I gave my OM-1 to my son. It was his first 35. But, guess what? I am selling all my extensive Nikon gear to go back to Olympus and get the E-M1 Mark III with a 100-400 and a 12-40, plus a couple of accessories.

If you buy a OM1, OM1n or OM1-md: you have to remove the top plate and clean out all of the old foam around the prism and hotshoe bracket. It's an easy endeavor but is a necessity. Otherwise great cameras, once you start with the OM system you'll soon collect them all.

The foam used as cushioning on top of the prism degrades and east away the coating on the glass reflex prism. The foam turns into a gooey mess, it can also migrate down into the mechanism and cause mechanical issues. It is not a hard fix even for someone who has no experience working with cameras, you do have to be careful tho. We if you have an Om1 om1n or om1-md that has been to a shop in the past 20 years it probably has been done already.

6:13 It's charming the way you actually showed the viewfinder. Olympus OM1 and OM2 viewfinder images were huge (97% versus about 85% on many SLR) and zi actually felt that I was looking over the top of the camera not through it. The high eyepiece mand small camera meant that the viewfinder image emerged in with what you could see over the top of the camera and your left eye would see right past the camera as well owing to the compact size. It was a triumph of design. The smallest pentaprism ever and the largest image! Then that lovely quiet shutter and mirror.

I really like the fact that you can swap out the focus screen. Mine had a beat up 1-1 micro prism screen which I swapped out for a mint 1-13 split screen. I will never part with it.

It is still slick in all of its functions though I must change the light seals soon. I don't know how many rolls I have put through this body over the years but it will run into the thousands. My digital is the OM-D E-M5

OMD EM5s are remarkably like the OM1 and 2 in looks, right down to the more pointed pentaprism. My EM10II s are more like the OM10 as you might expect. I had an OM10 when I was 15. Cheap as chips and the shutter sound was smooth as silk, just like the 1 and 2, making so many SLRs sound noisy and clunky. If I could afford it I would stretch to an EM5 I hope they don't take away the Olympus trade mark, would be a huge mistake.

Excellent review, thumbs up. If I might add, you forgot to stress its strongest point, and that is the fact that it's one of the few cameras where you can compose, select aperture, shutter speed, and focusing without ever taking your eyes off the visor. p.s. The OM was originally called M for Maitani, and after Leica complained they decided to add the O for Olympus, hence OM (Olympus-Maitani) :) p.p.s. Re: battery. The camera voltage can be very easily changed from 1,35v to 1,5v, which will allow you to use nowadays batteries.

I plan on getting B&W film for it, but I have been recommended so many different ISO's. Can I ask which you would recommend for street photography/landscape shots?

Hi, it's a nice choice indeed. I think 100 is not ideal for London most of the time, especially in winter. 400 is a nice compromise. Also for street photography, you probably want a relatively fast shutter speed, so the higher the ISO the better (so you can still use a reasonable aperture to ensure you're in focus). I'd go for 400 too.

+Old Cameras: the video is entertaining, informative, comprehensive, well paced, and just the right length. Your passion for this model is obvious and infectious. Thanks for taking the time to share the wonders of the OM-1.

The M 1 is not quite as rare as you indicated, About 52000 were produced in the first year and most were sold in Japan and surrounding countries. I recently acquired one on E Bay for just under $ 200 including a 50 mm f 1.4 system M Zuiko lens.

But the shoe on top is a cold shoe, NOT a hot shoe! You cannot trigger a flash from this, it has no electrical connection to the camera (at least on mine, maybe some changes later??)

A list of cameras sharing the exact same prism if you fancy repairs. OM1, 1N, 2, 2N, 10 , G , 20. I'm not totally sure if this list is accurate but it seems legit. I successfully swapped an om10 prism into an om1 body so I know those 2 at least are compatible. You can get om10s really cheap sold as spares repair.
