Olympus OM-1 35mm SLR + 28mm f/3.5 Auto W Wide Angle Lens

The Olympus OM-1 + Auto-W 28mm f/3.5 is the kind of setup that makes you wonder why cameras ever got bigger.

When Olympus introduced the OM system in the early 1970s, it was a revelation. Most professional SLRs of the day were chunky, heavy machines. The OM-1, by contrast, was compact, beautifully engineered, and featured one of the brightest viewfinders ever put into a 35mm camera. It quickly became a favorite of travel photographers, mountaineers, journalists, and anyone who wanted professional performance without lugging around a brick.

Paired here with the Olympus Auto-W 28mm f/3.5, you get one of the classic OM wide angles. Compact and sharp with beautiful Olympus color rendition, the 28mm is a fantastic everyday focal length. Wide enough for landscapes, architecture, and street photography, but natural enough to leave on the camera full time.

This particular camera has also received new brown leatherette, which gives it a gorgeous vintage look that feels right at home on the OM-1's elegant design. It's the sort of camera that makes strangers ask, "Wait, what are you shooting with?"

Condition: EXCELLENT

This camera kit is in excellent condition with only minor cosmetic wear consistent with careful use. The body has been fitted with new brown leatherette, which looks fantastic and is in excellent shape.

The meter reads accurately, and shutter speeds are accurate throughout the range. The 28mm f/3.5 lens is clean and clear, with smooth focus and aperture operation.

Overall, this is a beautiful, fully functional example of one of the greatest compact mechanical SLR systems ever made.
