The black‑finish Olympus OM‑2 is a classic 35mm SLR combining compact design, excellent build quality and Olympus’s advanced off‑the‑film metering system. Paired with the Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 standard lens, it delivers sharp, characterful images with the distinctive OM handling. This example includes a working Olympus Winder 1 and has minor prism desilvering, a common cosmetic issue that does not affect core operation.
Condition
Overall Condition: Good Shutter, metering, film advance and viewfinder functions operate correctly. The prism shows minor desilvering, visible as small edge spots in the viewfinder but not affecting composition or focus. The Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 focuses smoothly, aperture blades are clean and snappy, and optics present well. Winder 1 powers on and advances film correctly. Body shows typical cosmetic wear for age.
