Hi all

recently on a certain well known auction website I've seen a couple of OM1's with the OLYMPUS logo above the lens painted in red plus other markings in red too. The latest one

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Olympus-O...075962?pt=UK_Film_Cameras&hash=item27be93b5fa

claims that it's a limited edition but I've been unable to find anything out about it. Can anyone please shed some light?

TIA

Pete

I looked at all my references also, no mention of red markings. Hope someone else can come up with something. Good repaint job?

No it went for more than I was prepared to pay. If memory serves me correctly there have been 2 of these camera's on Ebay in the last 6 months. I've also seen a question asked about them on another forum. So far no one knows anything about them and I must admit that it's got me intrigued.
