Olympus OM-1 35mm SLR Film Camera (Black) + 50mm f/1.4 Black Nose Lens

The Olympus OM-1 is one of the most iconic fully mechanical 35mm SLRs ever produced, known for its compact size, precision engineering, and exceptionally bright viewfinder. Designed by Yoshihisa Maitani, the OM system redefined what a professional SLR could be, delivering full manual control in a body significantly smaller and lighter than its contemporaries. The black finish version is especially sought after for its more limited production and classic, understated appearance. With a fully mechanical shutter that operates independently of battery power, the OM-1 remains a highly reliable choice for both collectors and active shooters.

Paired here with the early “black nose” Olympus 50mm f/1.4 lens, this kit represents one of the finest standard lens combinations in the OM system. The 50mm focal length offers a natural perspective, ideal for everything from portraits to everyday photography, while the fast f/1.4 aperture allows for excellent low-light performance and beautifully shallow depth of field. The “black nose” version is particularly desirable for its early production characteristics and rendering, offering strong sharpness with smooth, classic bokeh. Built with Olympus’s signature all-metal construction, both the body and lens provide a premium tactile experience that continues to hold up decades later.

Condition: Mint 

This camera and lens set is in mint condition, showing virtually no signs of use. The black finish on the body is exceptionally clean, with no noticeable wear, brassing, or marks. The lens glass is pristine, with no haze, fungus, or scratches. Internally, both the camera and lens are extremely clean. All mechanical functions operate perfectly, including smooth film advance, accurate shutter speeds, and precise focusing. The aperture is clean and responsive with snappy blades. A truly outstanding example that would be difficult to upgrade.
