I am selling my Olympus OM-1n with a Zuiko 50mm F1.8 lens.
The camera appears to work in all respects with a few minor issues. I cannot get the TTL light meter to work, so consider it unavailable. If one understands exposure technique, or uses an external meter, this is not an issue of course for a fully mechanical SLR such as the OM1-n. The motor cover is missing. Spare covers can be found on eBay, or one can simply cover it with a small square of tape to keep dust out. The tiny screw affixing the rewind knob to its shaft is missing, but the rewind knob is still securely held to its shaft - it's likely pressed on - do no impact on use at all (it probably accepts a small metric screw if one wants to chase this down). The self timer works, but I've not checked the flash contacts. There is a spot of dust or something about 1mm in diameter inside the lens and a smattering of other also insignificant dust specks, and perhaps a handful on minor marks on the coatings. These are all way out of focus and effect nothing. There viewfinder is clean, with a few tiny specks of dust evident. The lens iris action is fast and snappy and the action of the focus and other controls is normal.
Despite a few minor issues I know this camera will perform admirably in capable hands! The OM-1n is really a joy to use and I've set a bargain price.
Price: $50 plus shipping.
