This is a vintage Olympus 35mm rangefinder film camera, circa 1958. It's had one owner, and is in extremely good condition.
Olympus cameras of this period were beautifully engineered and expertly manufactured. This one features an f 2.8 E. Zuiko lens, and shutter speeds from 1 to 1/500th of a second. It has a flash shoe. Nothing is made of plastic.
Included with this camera are a range of original period accessories, including:
- The original hard leather Olympus case. While the case shows some wear, it's still absolutely solid.
- Several filters.
- The original manual, now somewhat dog-eared after well over half a century.
- A Norwood Director M3 light meter.
- A screw-on lens hood.
The camera is working perfectly to the best of our knowledge. Full disclosure - we no longer have a darkroom, or any way to process 35mm film, so it has not been tested.
The light meter also appears to be working correctly, in that its needle moves when it's exposed to light. It includes its original instructions.
The exterior of the camera is almost perfect, with no visible damage and only a tiny spot of corrosion at the back of the film door.
