    I have had my Olympus OM1-n for over twenty years and has never ever let me down on picture quality or any mechanical failures. As its not an automatic point and shoot camera it does take a time to get use to all its features, but once mastered,its an absolute joy to use. Its very lightweight struct ...

    The Olympus OM1n is my all time favorite camera, aside from the OM-3 which is prohibitively expensive. Fantastic design, size and function. Never lets one down even in the most extreme circumstances (cold or hot weather). A fantastic and easy to use workhorse that never seems to fail. The simple me ...

    This old work horse never fails. A true classic. Discovered photography using the OM. It was small and compact before anyone knew what a compact was. Long live Olympus, well recommend the OM1n.

    The Olympus OM1n is one of the finest 35mm camera's ever made. Small, light, compact design, low noise, bright viewfinder md option.

    In my opinion its far, far beyond the equivalent Nik/Canon offerings. Lovely optics, tough as old boots. A proper traveller's camera.

    The Olympus OM1n is my first SLR, except for one that auto focussed, which I didn't like and consequently sold on ebay. I have taken some very good pictures with and would strongly recommend it to someone, like me, who is just setting off and learning.

    I have owned the Olympus OM1n since 1982 when I purchased it while still in high school. Through the years I have photographed, family, friends, weddings etc. and almost all the pictures came out perfectly. Currently working with computers has prompted me to purchase a digital camera and while there ...

    I love these Olympus OM cameras.
    Some people told me, why don't you use modern digital camera ?
    I have bought one of these, I never use it now I have rediscovered all the possibilities of the OM1n.
    My digital cams (one Canon DSLR, one Panasonic bridge) are collecting dust on a shelf.
    I cannot ...

    Although, they say the Olympus OM1n camera is nice and light and small, to me it seems too small and compact for comfort. I owned this camera and immediately returned it.
