The mechanical Olympus OM-1 was introduced in 1972 as the first of a new breed of small & lightweight single lens reflex cameras from a company that never seriously being regarded as a 35mm SLR camera manufacturer by others. But it has proved Olympus was easily one of the most innovative 35mm SLR camera manufacturer of the seventies The Company has brought quite a number of revolutionary design in their SLR bodies that has casted such a powerful influence on the future of 35mm SLR camera design. It has continued to shine through the early to mid '80 and has also incorporated many other exciting features such as FP flash sync and multi-spots metering system into their newer SLR models. Its unique and proprietary integrated OTF Direct Metering System for ambient light and flash metering first seen and used on the OM-2 in 1975 is still unmatched and hard to duplicate after 25 years since its introduction. Despite its extremely compact dimension, selective higher end OM models have proven its ability to withstand the extremes of climactic conditions, and the battering by professional photographers on hazardous assignments and rough treatment on the fields. For an average user, it is a system that grows as your needs expand. Among many diversified and supplementary photographic system accessories, macro-photo system remains as the most comprehensive and sophisticated among all manufacturers. The flash photographic system is the most versatile and accurate in exposure control. But the best factor to consider investing into OM system is still - virtually all system accessories can find a way or another for back and foreword compatibility with older or newer SLR bodies. Even the Zuiko lenses that has grown from the original 30 odd lenses to more than 50 in numbers over the years have no problems fitting into any of the newer OM SLR bodies. The complete system integration offers by the OM photographic system has enabled Olympus to take on competitions with their respective competing professional graded SLR camera models such the Nikon F2, the Minolta XK, Canon F-1 and to a lesser extend, the revised Pentax K-series models. In fact, the OM system was easily regarded as the most respectable 35mm camera system during from the period of mid-seventies to beginning of the eighties.
