Whats gucci everyone! Haven't posted a video since last year! Have you guys ever tried any of the Olympus OM cameras? Which one is your favorite?

[@afinacionymovimiento]

KingJvpes I love the OM1 and OM2 but I also love using the Om2n program. I love the feel about it. The only thing is that the batteries run out really quick on my model.

[@KingJvpes]

afinacionymovimiento ahhhhbthe battery drainage issue. I’ve heard about that. Does putting the lens cap on help it in anyway?

[@afinacionymovimiento]

KingJvpes that’s a great idea. When I first bought it, the battery didn’t seem o be an issue.. and now that i think about it, i had a cap on on the lens. Since en it’s died a few times. I’m gonna give that a try. Thanks man 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@KingJvpes]

always! haha from what I've heard its because the meter is always running the battery

[@davideades9588]

KingJvpes As I understand it the OM-2S, the OM-3 and the OM-4 all suffered from a permanent residual battery drain, which quickly used up the batteries. The best solution is to remove the batteries when the camera is not being used, also use SR44 cells in lieu of the Alkaline LR44. The battery drain issue was fixed by Olympus in later OM-3ti and OM-4ti variations. I am lucky enough to own the OM-1n, OM-2 MD, an OM-2 Spot Program and my favourite the OM-4ti, which is awesome.

[@PPISAFETY]

Back in the day I was an OM-1 and OM-2 shooter and still have an OM-2n and some lenses for it. I also ended up with an OM-2 Spot/Program like yours and agree with your assessment of it. I do have to admit that the shutter sound is awful (I call it "crunchy") and the wind is not as smooth as my Nikon cameras, but the camera works well enough and the exposure meter was very advanced for its time. There is one issue I've noticed with this model and it was confirmed for me by a former Olympus factory repairman. The camera has an "Auto Power Off" feature to turn off the viewfinder display after 90 seconds of non-use. This feature doesn't always work, leading to battery drain in some cameras. Generally if the camera is not used often it is better to remove the batteries, or have a spare set on hand, which is easy because they are small and cheap. But this is one reason the camera was never widely accepted by pros, who felt Olympus had over-complicated a good thing when compared to the OM-2. One last tiny correction to the video. If your battery dies, you can still shoot the OM-2s manually by setting 1/60th of a second and adjusting the aperture yourself. But make sure to set to the "60" marked in red, not the blue one, for which you will have to first depress the "B lock" button located at about 5 o'clock on the lens mount. Trying to use any of the speeds marked in blue with a dead battery locks the mirror up and leads many to believe their camera is broken, but it isn't. You can reset this with the B lock button as well. Well done video, Sir.

[@boatdetective]

The OM-2S is underrated because of it's deservedly poor reputation for reliability. I know, I bought one new. Back in the day they were very poor sellers even on the used market. I also owned an OM-1, OM-3, and an OM-4T. The OM-1 was simple and reliable. The 3 was a collector's piece and I was afraid to scratch it. The OM-4T- by a wide margin- was the best practical shooter. Great spot metering system. The intuitive and accurate metering made it very fast to operate. I would only caution you to not romanticize some older film cameras just because they are old.

[@JessicaHTLi]

This is a very well shot video, love the intro and the setting! Reminds me of leading lines. Also very informative about the OM-2S Program. I am thinking about getting one. This is definitely helpful!

[@OperationBlueprint]

This was my first film camera and I love the shutter sound 😊

[@bradvietjeastronomy2872]

Thanks for your review. I used to shoot this camera a lot back in the day, and I found the integrated spot metering to be a really handy feature. I still have it in storage, so I ought to dig it out and see if it will still work. I think the second screen is because the OM-1n and OM-2 were used a lot for astro-photography and medical photography, and during long exposures in very low-light situations it would help block light from getting in through the viewfinder.

[@EggyDavi]

A1 cinematic shoots! Well done!

[@TXGRunner]

Nice shot through the viewfinder. Very few reviews ever show the viewfinder, which I think is a big deal. My favorite film cameras are the Olympus OM series. They are significantly smaller than other SLRs of the era. The ergonomics are great, even for those of us with larger hands. The aperture ring on the lens nose and shutter speed dial on the mounting ring allow the photographer to adjust both while looking through the lens. So, you have the camera up, looking through the viewfinder, and you can see the shutter speed change and see the effect of changing the aperture on the meter. Obviously, you can see focus change, so you can change almost everything while looking through the viewfinder at your subject. This was a brilliant design by the famous Japanese camera engineer Yoshihisa Maitani and shows through the entire line-up. The second mirror, I believe, is for off-the-film (OTF) meter which is just inside the mount ring, toward the bottom and facing toward the rear. I like the sound, but its very subjective. The pinnacle for aperture priority in the OM line-up are the OM-3 (mechanical) and OM-4 (along with T versions). They can do 8 spot metering. The OM-3T is somewhat weather sealed and the all mechanical design means you can shoot with flat batteries up to 1/2000th of a second. At the other end, the OM-1 is a very simple, all mechanical camera. You'll probably like the shutter sound better on that one. The Olympus Pen F half-frame series is also very nice and very economical on film. Maitani designed the Pen F first. It's an SLR with the pentaprism mounted sideways so it looks like a rangefinder. Nice video. Thanks for posting it.

[@CVProductions]

Production quality improved so much! Keep it up man, great start to 2018

[@KingJvpes]

CV Productions. Thank you!!

[@Petersulie]

Got the om2n for Christmas, I’m loving it

[@tylerjasper7567]

Great B-roll and transitions, cant wait to see more dope videos this year!

[@KingJvpes]

Thanks Tyler!!

[@eagleone08]

I have the OM1n, OM2n and the OM2sp. I use the last one since 2010, and it's a great camera, the spot misuring system is really helpful. I don't like very much the electronic self-timer, but apart from that I really like this camera.

[@herbset804]

I love it! Not only very informative but also eye pleasing, good job!

[@KingJvpes]

Herbset thank you!!!

[@mariobravo8253]

I ❤️ the shutter sound - it sounds cool - like something from the 80's

[@thevega14]

Dude what the hell!! Your videos went from great to awesome!!!

[@KingJvpes]

Felipe Vega Díaz thank you!!!!!! I’m trying my best brother!!!

[@jackw7666]

amazing, my OM-1 is in for repair at the moment, just shot through a roll of portra 160 on an old point and shoot, p.s. your seattle shots on your flickr are beautiful, very retro feel to them

[@gttim]

My first camera was an OM-1. Brand new. Over 40 years later, it still works fine. My second camera was an OM-2s. Which I sold a long time back. I loved that camera. It was awesome. You could run multiple flashes with TTL metering. I replaced it about 6 months ago. And I replaced some of the lenses and other accessories. Can't wait to start shooting it again! Do be careful of the battery drain, however. It never really turns off. Take the batteries out when not using it. I wouldn't mind getting an OM-3 or OM-4T. Those can be a little pricey, however. Especially the OM-3.

[@billpickle2875]

Just found this video as i found this camera with the 28mm at a car boot sale this morning for £8! Just put in some batteries and its working. Great vid

[@highlander200107]

Good overview of the Olympus, I have the OM4 myself, and while the shutter/aperture are in odd places compared to most, it does make sense after using it for a while.

[@KingJvpes]

John Roberts it really does John, the lens is what we touch before every shot and having it right there and readying available is awesome. It took time to get use to tho.

[@FilmPhotographyChannel]

Nice review on an underrated gem! About the secondary mirror: Olympus used multiple cds cells in the OM-2n-one in the prism and the other behind the mirror reading off of the film plain (OTF). The OM-2s used only one cell for everything which is why they designed it with the secondary mirror (behind the opaque mirror) which allowed for exposure preview (in Olympus-speak, "exposure preview" is any meter reading that happens before the actual pic is taken). This is yet another example of Olympus' innovative engineering. Also, the red 60 on the shutter speed dial allows for 1/60 sec shutter speed without a battery so you do have at least one shutter speed available if battery croaks Thanks so much for this review! I love Olympus OM-series cameras. I had an OM-1 as my first "real" camera back in the day. Let me know if you ever visit the DC area, I will buy you a coffee and show you an area or two that are great for street photography.

[@davewebster6945]

I like the OM2S for all the reasons you state here 👍. I just bought one at a camera fair for £80 a few days ago and it all works except for an occasional need to double wind on the advance lever 🤔. I know these cameras are known for rapid battery drain so taking out the batteries when not in use is mandatory or youve suddenly got a dead camera in a very short time 😓. Also on the battery issue dont try the battery check position as it kills the battery 😕 same with the little button on the side of the lens mount for the viewfinder illumination 😑. They should have incorporated a shutter button lock to prevent accidentaly turning on the metering and an on off switch to turn the camera completely off to avoid these problems 🙁. All those problems can be solved though by fitting the om winder 2 so the camera runs on the batteries in the winder and it can be turned completely off 🤗👍. Other probs with these is the shutter and wind on mechanism can jam up due to the grease in the mechanisms drying up and becoming solid with age 🙁 an expensive fix if you can still find someone who can repair or replace the parts 🤕. If the battery runs out and you take a shot, the shutter operates but the mirror locks up and the aperture blades stay stopped down, to sort this you need to push in the tiny slim B LOCK button on the bottom left of the lens mount, keep it pushed in and rotate the shutter ring to the red 60 B position to let the mirror down and open the aperture blades again, then replace your batteries ☺. The viewfinder in these is fairly dim due to it havin tiny holes through the silvering to let light through to that secondary mirror behind the main one for initial light metering as indicated in the viewfinder display, once the shutter is pressed and the mirror goes up the light metering sensor in the floor of the mirror box then reads directly off the first shutter curtain which has a matrix of tiny black and white square chequering all over it, once the shutter fully opens the meter is reading directly off the film for the final true exposure 😊 and this system is extremely accurate 😁 and it explains the unusual sound of the shutter due to the extra mirror and its mechanism added to the main mirror and the shutter 👍. I like it as it is pretty quiet but a bit sibilant. Others hate it but the mechanism does a great job on the exposures 😁👍. I am currently looking for a winder for mine to get over that battery issue, but it is going to make it a way bigger and heavier and louder camera than it needs to be 🤔.

[@tholasworld8139]

Seriously, this video is educating. Thank you

[@Eliasw86]

I never tried the SP version. But I have all the others 😀, exept the ti versions. That is one good looking camera you got man! And the top and bottom plate, all brass! Cheers!

[@doplinger1]

I have an OM-2n and it is probably my favorite film camera; other than some small technical differences, I'm not sure how it varies compared to the OM-2s. Spot metering function, circuit board instead of direct wiring... I love the ergonomics of the camera!

[@KingJvpes]

YES! The ergonomics are what sets the om-2's apart! Thanks for stopping by again Dave!!

[@TheMarkRich]

Rocking my 2sp for years after bargain second hand buy. Batteries does often but they do in my xoro2 too..lol

[@shoobyflores9329]

That b roll thoe! And the end clip omg 😂😂😂

[@KingJvpes]

HAHA dude i had to run back for my stuff lol

[@FlyByFrancis]

You're videos are always dope...GODDAM! Have an awesome 2018 bro

[@KingJvpes]

Thanks Francis! You too brother, lets make 2018 a good one!

[@Bass-guitarist]

Good video and I really like your presentation style! Thank you for the effort and time producing this.

[@joshrock]

I have an OM-2 and an OM-1, one also had an OMG at one point, all three have the same shutter speed selection ring add of course the same lenses. Out of all the smaller bodied SLRs I've tried (pantax M, canon A, minolta X ect) I think the OM series has the most intuitive design. I think the canon A-1 being a close second because of the selector dial being way ahead of its time, and easy to use. The exposure comp on the right side is perfect, and I was glad that fujifilm has put that into their digital line like my x-t20. It just makes sense

[@KingJvpes]

agreed! Fuji did a great job on the xt20 and as for the canon a-1 i hear you! All four modes and selection dials all crammed into i=onse side but honestly, I kinda like it! haha

[@tonyhomsi2245]

Dude... i agree with you 100 percent.. i have 3 of the .. i still like my om 4 ti more for portraits.. i like my om1 for street.. but i like this one for sitting next to me when i drive...to take candid city black and white.. but i use auto winders for all of them just to save the mechanics on the cameras.. i use winders on all my shooters except my canon f1n and my canon Ftb.. oh and my k1000 everything else got auto winders..

[@davebellamy4867]

The secondary mirror reflects light to the silicon cell for more accurate exposure display using those cells. The OM1 and OM2 had a CdS cell in the viewfinder that was less accurate but the OM2 auto exposure used a silicon cell in the base like the 2Sp, 4 and 4Ti. Using the silicon cells in the base avoids any wrong exposure from light coming in the viewfinder and the use off the film metering which was a super cool Olympus SLR thing. The shutter on my OM2 is a little noisier than the OM4Ti but less precise sounding and the OM1, OM2 and budget OM10 shutters were a lot quieter.

I have one in the same condition as yours. It is definitely a great camera, and yes, the lever feels weird, but I get used to it now. The only thing that bothers me alot is the fact that there is no On/Off switch, which means it's better to remove the batteries if the camera stays on a shelf for a long period of time. Other than that, it's a small format compared to a Canon A-1 or a Minolta X-700 for instance and the Zuiko lenses are absolutely awesome.

[@geraldillo]

The conventional system with a shutter speed ring on the camera may have a disadvantage for using the competition dial, but with the Olympus in manual mode you have to use your left hand for both the aperture ring and the shutter speed ring.

[@hardene8888]

Awesome! It's really nice to check out other types of camera and am glad films are stil kicking there unlike here. . Keep it up minolta man 👊👊👊

[@KingJvpes]

Yes they are and thank you!! #Minoltagang

[@melvinch]

The secondary-mirror was for the metering cell to measure light, located at the bottom of the mirror box. You're probably the only reviewer that reviewed this under-the-radar gem. This camera would have been a killer had it not been plagued by battery leakage issues. This is possibly the cheapest SLR you can find that has a built-in spot-meter, albeit only in manual mode. Review the OM-4 if you have a chance to do so. That beauty was a camera far ahead of its time with its multi-spot metering.

[@davebellamy4867]

The multi spot meeting was awesome and fun to use; actually superbly useful I thought. I had OM4Ti. It's still here somewhere. OM cameras were well ahead of their time. The OM1 for compactness, huge viewfinder image and super quiet shutter, the OM2 for awesome off the film metering, long exposures and multi flash, the OM3 4 3Ti 4Ti for amazing multi spot metering. For me the OM2 was most awesome because it was put together way back in 1975 and is still kind of wow. Then the tiny and fabulously made lenses are another marvel.

[@davebellamy4867]

It's sad that the genius Mr Maitani who conceived this system is dead but lovely that his designs still have new fans in 2020.

[@bonedyone]

sick, I dig this review style video ! more reviews bruh!

[@KingJvpes]

Will do brodie, thank you!

[@doubleletter]

Great review

[@nello1591]

I found about 14 cameras and an assortment of lenses in a garbage bin a few months ago, among them was this camera. Today I just pulled it off my shelf to check it out and though the light meter isnt working, it appears to function otherwise. Gonna put a roll through it and see if it works.

[@Zetaphotography]

Would love to see more of the this camera. Just sold my X700 50 F1.4 and picked up an A1 with 50 F1.4 and OM2s Program that also needs repair. I enjoyed the film advance from the X700

[@connorlaperle3132]

Just picked up a clean Polaroid sx70 sonar for $10 at a thrift store! Can't wait to use it.

[@KingJvpes]

Nice find bro!

[@juanpilanz]

Hey there. Does it have any issues with battery voltage or do the replacement batteries match the original?

One major aspect that is a plus for the OM-2 S Program, unlike the OM-1 and OM-2, is the fact that is does not have foam above the pentaprism that deteriorates and damage it. Look for "OM-1 OM-2 foam pentaprism removal" and you will see what I'm talking about. Don't get me wrong, OM-1 and OM-2 are wonderful cameras, but if you want to buy one, just be aware of that.

[@carixoxo1]

Visuals in this one are 10/10

[@KingJvpes]

Carina Ortiz 😈🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@MrMarkpoole]

I bought my OM2S in the early 90s.It was my primary camera for many years.One other down side of it is you need to remove the batteries when you're done shooting or they will wear down fast.From what I've heard,this is a common issue with these.Fortunately it's easy to work around.

[@KingJvpes]

The battery drainage issue luckily hasn't happened to me (yet) but i was told to keep a lens cap on it at all times when not using. Have you tried this?

[@MrMarkpoole]

It's always had a lens cap and been inside a camera bag.The reason for the lens cap is the meter is always active.If you shoot with the switch off the camera works in auto.This is so you don't miss a shot if you grab the camera for a quick shot and forget to turn it on.

[@pastels]

steppin up on the cinematic shoots

[@KingJvpes]

pastel you know it!!

[@RexBer]

Like your vids, man. I thought the secondary mirror was standard, I found it on my Nikon F90 and F801s, like other have said, the light goes through the main mirror and the secondary mirror directs it to the photo cells that are used for off the film metering

[@j.fontaine2491]

I picked one up cheap for the lens that was on it and haven't shot with the camera itself. I think ill give it a try. Thanks for another informative, well made video. All the best to you and the fam in 2018.

[@KingJvpes]

Always brother! Thanks for tuning in, also theres some deals on eBay right now, saw one for $24 earlier

[@harrysilalahi8633]

very good review man!! to be honest, i've canon a1, nikon f3, minolta x300, and can't wait to have and play with this one....once again good job for the review!!

[@KingJvpes]

Thanks man! haha and thats awesome! Out of those other cameras which one is your favorite?

[@harrysilalahi8633]

i think that will be the F3, no offence to minolta gang!! :D

[@kombibus]

That mirror in back of the main mirror is part of the Off the Film plane metering first offered on the OM-10.and the OM-2n.

[@peterlund4501]

This camera can meter while taking the picture. Wenn you take long exposure pictures, the camera closes the shutter as soon as it calculates that overall the film got enough light. That is where this sounds comes from I am guessing. Hope that helps.

[@horatiueduard]

The shutter sound is a subjective thing. To be honest, I like it in here. I've never turned down a camera for its shutter sound anyway.

[@faithinverity8523]

The shutter sounds strange because of OTF metering, which is -awesome-. That camera has world class metering. Just keep a lot of fresh AG13 batteries in your bag.

[@commandermegatron5469]

really like your video，it is pro about film camera ！and i notice that this time we did not see the photo you shooted，looking foward！go on and keep it up！BTW pentax and some rangefinder cam

The om2 spot/program has a really unique sounding shutter. They eat 357 batteries like candy so bring extra out with you so your not stuck with 1/60.

[@DeezyDev]

have you tried the om-4?

[@jklcvb5894]

Can you try the Pentax Program A?

[@KingJvpes]

Never heard of that but i'll take look! :)

[@brianhall137]

The OM-2S CAN shoot without batteries at 1/60 and B. It has a lot lot more in common with the OM-4 than the OM-2.

[@tomislavmiletic_]

Olympus OM-2sp HAS mechanical shutter - those painted in red, 1/60s and B, try that out. What flimsy film advance goes, back in the day Olympus had either choice to make camera bigger or to use other materials like Leica, both of which would be opposite of what OM series was - a poor man's Leica. BTW, if you are able to get more of that amazing Zuiko glass don't hesitate...

[@KingJvpes]

Interesting, didn't know about that. So olympus used different materials to keep the size down? That's crazy man, never would've thought they'd sacrifice for portability and size! And will do, i just want a 35!!

[@tomislavmiletic_]

KingJvpes Not only materials; in Nikon F2 (and I believe F3) you have elaborate gearing system to achieve that smooth film advance, while in the whole OM series (OM 3 & 4 might be an exception, I couldn't tell) it's much more rudimentary... Actually, film advance in my copy of that camera got jammed and I had to get her fixed. So, pls gentle with that leaver...

[@tfylhk]

The shutter sound of OM is damping, low pitch and quietest it is best sound for street photography among SLRs

[@dkcarroll13]

Throw some shots you took on it in the video! Great work by the way!

[@KingJvpes]

will do! Moving forward I'll add shots! Thanks for the insight :)

[@profipfuscher]

Nice Video! I have tried the OM 10 and i didn't liked it very much

[@KingJvpes]

haha the om10 is okay :/

[@amosk24]

Don't let that keep you from trying the OM1 or OM2. Both great cameras. The OM10 is largely considered lackluster because it was meant to be an "affordable" OM camera. I keep coming back to the OM2n.

[@amosk24]

Gabe Anzelini build quality overall. This was the consumer grade OM, not the professional build quality. Google reviews on the OM10 for details.

[@aristeocobain11]

Saludos carnal tienes facha de ser mexicano , sino es así te pido disculpas , buen video

[@olympus2OM]

The OM-2s can shoot without batteries at 1/60 sec.

The meter display is junk compared to the Om1 or reg Om2. Even with the display light on the LCD information is barely readable. Without light it is dim In daylight and I find it too small still. OMG are a lot better for digital LCD.
