This Old Camera: Olympus OM-1N MD with Zuiko Auto-S 50mm f/1.8

Olympus OM-1N MD









Camera type: 35mm SLR
Lens mount: Olympus OM
Shutter: 1 - 1/1000 seconds plus bulb
Depth-of-Field Preview: on every lens (but I forget which is the preview and which is the interlock)
Metering: Centerweighted
ISO: ASA 25 - 1500
Self-timer: yes
Mirror Lock-up: yes
Flash: P.C. socket, optional hot shoe.

Comments: Love the tiny size. Finder is very good. Not a huge fan of the shutter speed dial as a collar around the lens mount, though it harkens back to my first SLR, the Nikkor FTn.

Mine has had some parts scavenged off of it, like the battery door and rewind knob. Doubt the meter works.

Lens: Zuiko Auto-S 50mm f/1.8

Filter size: 49mm
Close focus distance: 1.6 feet / 0.45 meters
Aperture range: f/1.8 - f/16
Aperture blades: 6
Depth of field scale for f/4, f/8, f/16, plus IR focusing index.

Tiny, sharp lens. I'd like it to have a 7-bladed aperture.  These were all shot on very old Tri-X.
