Olympus OM-1 35mm SLR Film Camera with 50mm f1.8 Lens
Description:
The Olympus OM-1 is one of the most loved 35mm SLR cameras ever made, and for good reason. It is fully mechanical, which means it works without batteries and will never let you down. Compact and light for an SLR, it feels great in the hand and is a joy to use every day. The 50mm f1.8 lens is sharp, handles low light well, and gives you a natural, flattering perspective. If you are coming from a Canon AE-1 or a Pentax K1000 and want something that feels a step above, the OM-1 delivers that. It is a great choice for anyone who wants to learn photography properly and shoot on a camera that will last a lifetime.

Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can't guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn't an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light-meter or for you to take our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.
