Hi Everybody.
I'm giving this olympus om-1 plus zaikai 50mm f1.8 away for the price of shipping.
This is an early OM-1 without the motordrive coupling.
The camera works in the sense that all the shutter speeds work, and you can use the camera in it's current condition but:
The meter is untested.
The prism foam has rotted through the prism, so it needs a new prism.
You sometimes have to wind the windlever 1/8 turn extra to make sure the shutter is cocked.
The focussing screen is a bit dirty (this of course is easy to remedy)
The lens is in good condition with smooth focus and dry and snappy aperture, however there is a bit of fungus on the rear element.
So all in all this camera seriously needs a complete CLA. It's a great camera but I'm into minolta cameras and don't need another system.
Therefore I'm giving it away for the price of shipping.
I live in Denmark, and prefer shipping with tracking.
The actual shipping cost depend on where in the world you are.
