Olympus OM2 - BEST 35mm CAMERA? I Review

[@sputumtube]

I'm 61 and I've had one of these for about 40 years. Now I've watched this review, I might actually start using it...

[@damium5]

dudeeee the intro was amazing!!!!

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

Thanks a lot:D

[@moonmisfit]

so much effort was put into this video! i especially really liked that intro. you showed me new possibilities to try out with my own OM-2. cheers!

[@kwl3356]

Hollywood's highest level cinematic intro. Awesome production and review !

[@neilt]

Thanks for this video. I originally bought myself an OM-1 in the mid 1970s, and it was my pride and joy for many years. But digital finally came into my life and I sold it when we moved to a smaller house a few years ago. I have since regretted that, and have just purchased a good condition OM-2 N form a reliable Ebay shop, and it will arrive next week. I am so looking forward to using film in a great camera again.

[@FilmJournal]

Amazing little opening sequence man. Really cool. This deserves more views :(

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

Thank you verry much that means a lot to us!! :D

[@JordanBlue1]

That intro was awesome. I subscribed!

[@budz6468]

man, I only watched 30 seconds so far but already hit the like button. That intro is outstanding! Good job :)

[@tuisitala9068]

I have a lot of cameras and if I could only have one it would be my OM2n. The build quality is superb and the Zuiko lenses feel and perform to a very high standard. On the subject of buying one I would add that the question of prism foam rot is very important to check out. Your pictures are really good and I have just clicked as a subscriber. Keep up the good work!

[@VideosByDeb]

What would be best one compare to OM1N and OM2N?

[@GB-ez6ge]

I guess that means that you don't own a 4T :)

[@phanumatduangthai3401]

Love the opening. The music is very very pleasing. The highlight in the b&w photos are beautiful!

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

Thank you for your support🙏 we put a lot of work in to our videos.

[@Caballeroshot]

If you need to dampen the mirror further for long exposures and mirror lockup isn't available, you can shoot in Bulb. I used to carry a dark cloth I would put over the lens and open the shutter, remove it and expose for the long exposure and just release the cable release. Works flawlessly.

[@thecaveofthedead]

This was a really enjoyable vid. Both the pictures from the camera and the footage were lovely.

[@miguelvalencia2528]

You should be doing TV commercials. Excellent video and a a plus I learned about the camera.

[@ninabumanglag7917]

Got my Om2n a few months back and I just love it. So much effort put into one awesome video. ❤️❤️❤️

[@michaelbuckley8986]

Excellent presentation indeed.I’ve just taken my OM-2 out of storage and looking forward to shooting with it again👍

[@matti6240]

How does this not have more love shown. Thank you for the excellent video!!!

[@MarkiModica]

This entire video is all quality and beautifully shot. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. You've got a new subscriber!

[@TheCaptainWalter]

Terrific review and excellent production quality. 'The Algorithm' recommended this review and now I'm a subscriber. Cheers.

[@rhododendron-k9s]

This channel will be famous. It's very quality content. Thanks for this video

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

Thank you verry much! We will see ;D

[@cesarmillan2361]

I enjoyed this video a lot. Congratulations it was very good 😌

[@benschrader5797]

Love the tripod in the intro! I have one very similar-looking (identical?) handed down to me from my dad when he shot film with an Olympus OM-20.

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

Yeah its a Velbon FS-3. We really like that the middle column can tilt and extend:D

[@wayneandrews3128]

I was doing a little research and came across your video. I am also wondering how this doesn't have far more views. You did an incredible job. It was both very informative and thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Great job.

[@johnjbh7089]

Nice review. As an ex Nikon man I can highly recommend the OM system.

[@camplaysbass]

Fantastic video, i’m looking into buying a new 35mm camera after my minolta was stolen, this has definately swayed me to the OM2!

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

That´s great to hear! We can´t recommend it enough:D And thanks for the support.

[@robbellphoto]

First of all… SUBSCRIBED ! 2nd …. That intro was fire !!!! ❤ thanks

[@kev229]

Matt Day and Willem Verbeek who? Exceptional production. Thank you for that. I fell more in love with my 2 week old OM3 after this video. Keep em going. Subscribed.

[@michaelfarrell8962]

Awesome video. I love my OM2. Indestructible tank of a camera! If only Olympus had this guy doing their adverts in the 80s...there would be no other SLR brand out there! Great video. WHY is this not selected by the algorithm?

[@taiwik]

Love your pictures; I was given a OM4T; wish you share about the lens you were shooting and if they were in ‘Auto’ mode

[@st.armanini9521]

Lavish quality video!

[@anthonydavis4829]

Videos as good as the camera. Olympus film fan for decades.

[@JudesKetchup]

Your intro is so dooope! Love the stop motion !!

[@jessica5497]

Your videos are really well made! Thanks

[@julilacart3692]

The production quality of this video is superb ✨

[@edejonkel]

Absolutely great video! Did you use a ND filter for the photos of the water? And does the meter set the shutterspeed itself? Or do you have to push the shutter in all the time? Cheers!

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

Thank very much. You support means a lot us to us. When in auto-exposure the camera will leave the shutter open by itself. But there is a maximum exposure time in this mode (google it to find out the exact time). If you go into bulb mode however you have to hold the shutter release for the duration of the wanted exposure time.

[@katerynafilatova1199]

So calming and aesthetic ☺️

[@achim.p62]

Sehr schönes Review und tolle Bilder. Ich besitze unter anderem auch eine OM-2, ich finde die schönste analoge SLR. Gleichzeitig eine ausgezeichnete Kamera mit hochwertigen Objektiven, aber auch ein wunderbares Design.

[@pip07200]

Got one of this on ebay and really really loved its size, handling and output. If only someone could convert this to digital ...

[@dcchong8102]

Keep it up, consistency is the key!

[@Iamzota]

Great production quality, information, awesome photos. How did this channel die???

[@benschrader5797]

Regarding your comment on the lack of mirror lock-up, I find that incredibly bizarre, as the OM-1 before has a mirror lock-up switch itself! As you say, perhaps Olympus had developed a well dampened mirror of which they were confident mitigates most of, if not all, mirror slap. It is good that despite that lacking feature you were able to get pleasing long exposure results!

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

We totally agree:D I guess they did a pretty good job because we never had an issue with it. ;D

[@lunchroomdad]

That was one hell of an intro

[@axelkimmel5818]

Super Video! Welche Blende und Verschlusszeit habe Sie im Haus und im Wald eingestellt? Kommt das Video über OM2 Spot Program oder OM4 auch? :-)

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

Vielen Dank:D So genau könne wir uns nicht erinnern aber für die Makro-Aufnahmen im Wald haben die Zeitautomatik bei f. 5,6 verwendet. Für die Langzeitbelichtungen und den Aufnahmen im Haus haben wir das gleiche f. 8 gemacht (ungefähr). Ein Video zur OM4 Ti steht auf jeden Fall auf unserer To-Do-Liste. Eine OM2 SP besitzen wir leider nicht:/, aber vielleicht hat du ja eine ;D

[@axelkimmel5818]

@@globalshutterproductions3179 Frohes Neues! Danke für die Antwort. Sorry, ich habe leider nur OM2n. Wollte aber noch eine zweite OM Kamera kaufen, entweder OM2SP oder OM4. Es ist jetzt nur die Frage ob es sich lohnt mehr Geld für OM4 auszugeben.

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

@@axelkimmel5818 Danke gleichfalls:D Also das ist natürlich subjektiv aber der wir finden der Aufpreis für eine OM4 lohnt sich.

[@Katira-KR7]

Wow these Macro pictures came out great

[@marceloa.1597]

Decided to sell my OM10 and get myself a black version of the OM-2 :)

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

Great choice the Om2 is definetly a better camera but the om10 isn´t bad either :D

[@TheLiaMatos]

I have the Olympus Om-2n camera and i have no idea which flash to buy for it because it only has a pinned thing at the top. Any help on this😭

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

Hey Lia, you need a hot shoe for your camera it`s called hot shoe 3 you can find them on ebay. Than you can go out an get yourself a flash with one simple contact. We can recomment you the olympus Quick Auto 310 it has ttl (first ttl flash ever). That makes the flash easy to use. your Global Shutter Production team

[@TheLiaMatos]

Global Shutter Productions thank you so much!

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

@@TheLiaMatos Let us know about your results :D

[@spanner999]

Just to clarify it's hotshoe 4 not 3,

[@yushunzhao8599]

Hi nice Video, love it a lot :) Can you tell me which camera you used to make this video?

[@neilpiper9889]

Om2n was the best. Variation on Van Morrison's Moondance in the background?

Lovely made!!

I have a om-2 and its my first manual analog camera but i shoot everything with the auto mode and all my photos from the first film came blurred. Any tips? Pls i am so sad and i want to try and work this again bc manually i have to carry a paper with me either the equivalent shutter speed to aperture cause i forget ^^’

[@SpeedyWings2323]

How did you get the photos online?? Is there a way to upload clear pictures online?

[@nointernetdinosoursgame2351]

loved that intro!

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

Thanks, we worked hard on that:D

[@DominicRulikowski]

I know you said "OM 4ti" at 23:49 . But it does sound a bit like "OM-40i" (to the untrained ear). Just saying.

[@MrTaptiga]

Incredible video 🙌

[@metalfingersfilm]

yo dude!! great video!! cool if i snag a couple clips for my video about affordable 35mm cameras? ill be sure to credit you in the video + desc!

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

Yeah sure thanks for asking. Please send us a link when you have uploaden the video:D

[@gabryst2945]

differences between om2n and om2?

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

there are only minor differences like a diffrent hotshoe, a lamp in the viewfinder that shows you if the flash is charged and also some small ergonomic improofments.

[@anthony3653]

Hammer👍🏻

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

Danke:D

[@nicholaskurz248]

Is the camera all metal?

[@TexTom1981]

As good as the OM-2 is/was, the 4 was better due to the improved metering and construction improvements. TTL-FP flash was also revolutionary at the time. I've got a 2 and a 4Ti. I use the 4 ALLLLLL the time.

[@Caballeroshot]

The OM 1 and 2 have the higher reliability rating out of all the OM system though.

[@diamondsprince]

the intro was amazing but the second montage was a bit long tbh. thanks for the great overview otherwise!

[@jacovanlith5082]

The OM 2 was not the successor of the OM 1. It was an OM with auto exposre mode and manual mode, an electronic shutter controled shutter, auto correcting the time during the exposure etc. etc.

[@nicokremers7150]

Correct. I have used both but the OM1 was my favorit. I still use the OM Zuiko lenses though, on a Sony A7(s) mark1.

[@kinoshita8133]

Good info, just got a 2n, but too much b roll dude

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

Thanks for the criticism and the support:D

[@klauslehrmann3906]

Greetings. I recently found and subbed to this channel. A little feedback is, the fingersnap ruins this video's tranquility. I like your b&w-pictures. I already have a huge taste for b&w. What is the designation of the viewfinder-accessory? I might need such a thing. Also, what is your procedure of digitizing? Your Kodak Gold-pictures seam grainy. I am not sure I would dare use that film. I link you some videos with music that might be of interest. I have downloaded and unzipped the soundtrack from the website named khinsider. They are available from there. I am not certain about the legal aspects of using the music in your videos though: Gran Turismo 5 Soundtrack: Like a Bird - KEMMEI (Lounge Music): kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y37Fl3WAhM2lr8k Gran Turismo 5 Soundtrack: Dark Line - Satoshi Bando (Jazz): kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIjYlWmfo6iNnbM Gran Turismo 5 Soundtrack: Smoker's Lament - Ryo Sonoda (Jazz): kzbin.info/www/bejne/haOzn3hji6mprJY Gran Turismo 5 Soundtrack: The Trip - MAKOTO (Lounge Music): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKi3l4qImb5gkLM Many others are available from the ost.

Don’t shake your instant film take the photo then take the instant film put it in the dark for 15min so it can develop “don’t shake your instant film”

[@williambalogh4495]

don't wanna hate, mean no disrespect but 6 mins in and I've learned zero. This doesn't feel like a review so I left. Too long winded/ artsy for a "review"

[@125f8]

Less funky camera angles and lighting more straight talking

[@anthonydavis4829]

Learn to write a movie script, if you don't know how, and shoot a feature film. Believe me it's screaming inside of you.

this was a really well made video thank you for the insightful review!
