Black Olympus OM‑1 35mm SLR + Zuiko 75–150mm Lens- Tested and Working

Overview

The Olympus OM‑1 is one of the most iconic 35mm SLRs ever produced, known for its compact size, mechanical reliability and bright viewfinder. This example is the black‑finish body, paired with the Zuiko 75–150mm f/4 telephoto zoom lens.
The camera is fully working, but has some prism desilvering, a common cosmetic issue on OM‑series bodies. This does not affect exposure or image quality, but is visible in the viewfinder.
