1974
Olympus OM-1 MD is basically the same camera as the original OM-1
of 1973 but accepts a motor drive, hence the initials MD. The
OM-1 was Olympus' first 'system' SLR, with a wide range of
bayonet mounted lenses, bellows, copy stands, and microscope
attachments available. A match needle CdS-TTL meter was incorporated
into the prism. Physically, the OM's are much smaller than the rival
Nikon's or Canon's of the time with all the same features or more
packed in. Quite a feat. My Father bought this camera in 1975 at
the Rhein-Main Airbase PX and for his wife's use. The lens is an
F Zuiko f1.8 / 50mm.
