andrew brown's Review of Olympus OM1n 35mm SLR camera
13th Sep 2004
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Photograph Quality
- Ease of Use
- Time Camera OwnedOver 1 Year
- Features
Beautifully engineered and they have stood the test of time. I have 3 of them and a few lenses, which can still be quite cheap to buy. They fit the hand to take semi-candid type shots and are altogether a brilliant camera to use. Any reputable repair shop will fix any problems and then you have a camera to last another 30 years!
Bad Points
Shutter speeds take a bit of getting used to.
General Comments
Olympus OM1n - The OM series led the way to smaller cameras, yet were packed with features and solidly engineered. The 3 I have must all be 25 years old at least, all bought secondhand and all in fine condition and will probably last another 25 years at least!
