Olympus OM-10

A 35mm film camera from approx. 1980

About

My first camera was an OM-10 so I was delighted when a box of junk I got on eBay had what seems to be a very good example buried in the middle of it. This is the consumer version of the OM-1 and is an aperture priority camera that requires an additional part to control shutter speed manually. Unlike the OM-1 the OM-10 is 100% electronic and requires a battery.

The OM-10 still inherits Olympus' legendary central-weighted metering system, utilises the exact same world-class Zuiko lenses, and delivers images that are completely indistinguishable from the professional OM-1. It is a wonderfully light, bright, and joyous camera to shoot with.

-Part of a massive bundle of untested cameras and lenses I purchased on eBay for £81. There were a few OMs including an OM1 and an OM-2, but they were all junk. This camera seems to be working fine, but I have not run a roll through it yet.
