Reintroduction of film cameras

The OM-1 is completely manual.

I believe you're mistaking it with OM-2. The only thing that battery operates in OM-1 is "matchstick" type light meter.

Its funny how many people say that, not sure why....maybe they never owned one.?

I stand corrected. I have an OM2n, which does offer aperture priority. Not sure why I thought the OM-1 had the same feature.




I wonder why people like the Olympus MJU II. I wouldn't even pick it up if I saw it in an estate sales.

Neither would I. Limited controls and I constantly see people looking for them because their previous one has failed.
 
That is not true. I bought the XA kit in 1979 demo for $180. I bought the Nikon F2AS with the 50mm f/1.4 lens in 1977 for $750. I bought the F3HP body in 1983 for $460. Or may be my Nikon's are not pro.
I had in mind an XA3 and a Nikon F4.
