Olympus OM-1 MD 35mm SLR Kit with Zuiko MC Auto-S 50mm f/1.8

Olympus OM-1 MD 35mm SLR Kit with Zuiko MC Auto-S 50mm f/1.8 - Outlet | Legendary Professional Film Kit with Fast Standard Prime — Film Advance Stiff

The Olympus OM-1 MD is one of the most celebrated and historically significant professional 35mm SLR cameras ever produced — a landmark camera that revolutionised the SLR market when it launched in 1972 by combining professional-grade build quality and performance with a remarkably compact and lightweight body that set a new standard for the entire industry. The MD designation indicates compatibility with the Olympus Motor Drive system. The Olympus OM System Zuiko MC Auto-S 50mm f/1.8 is a beautifully crafted standard prime with multi-coating for excellent contrast and colour accuracy. This example is offered as outlet — the film advance lever operates stiffly and may require servicing. Serial number: Body SR 1839725.
