But the weirdest thing is the stop down lever on the lens. While it’s a little weird at first, it kind of makes sense, and is easy to use after one or two rolls of film. For some reason, the aperture ring is at the front. Even guys who shoot Nikon or Canon will tell you that as far as vintage glass goes, Olympus, with their Zuiko glass, is near the top of the food chain. The lens system is made up of probably the most underrated glass ever. The most advanced digital can not improve on exposure accuracy. Even high contrast or back lighting can’t fool this meter. I can touch on the technical, but all you need to know is it works accurately without fail. Eventually, all the camera companies had some version of OTF, leveling the playing field. Some say it had the best metering of that era. And was one of the first, (some say the first), to incorporate taking its’ reading off the film. And the meter is one of the most accurate ever. The analog display of metering needles is very easy to read. While it’s not 100%, focusing is precise and quick. The Olympus OM-2 viewfinder is really bright and clear,…but, it’s a 97% viewfinder. And like Nikon’s FP high speed sync, flash output is greatly reduced. But FP flash mode is only workable with the OM-3Ti and OM-4Ti. However, they came out with being able to sync at any speed in FP flash mode a few years later. A little disappointing is the flash sync is 1/60 of a second.

The exposure can be adjusted plus or minus two stops in 1/3rd stop increments! That’s why I said it’s almost as effortless as a P&S camera. Almost like today’s modern digital cameras. Plus in aperture priority mode, the exposure compensation dial comes in very handy. If the little battery drains, it can still shoot at 1/60 of a second. Max shutter speed is only 1/1000 of a second, but the low end is 1 second. Including aperture priority with the click of a switch. Plus a complete system of winders, motor drives, battery packs and TTL flashes.Īfter the OM-1, some important improvements were made to the Olympus OM-2. From Macro to high speed street use, this camera is up to the task. Not the first, but one of the originators of OTF metering. The glass is exceptional, and taking a page from the Nikon playbook, focusing screens were easily replaceable.

A Full Bevy of Accessoriesīuilding on the OM-1, Olympus added the ability to take 250 exposure roll backs and data backs. The fact that most used ones operate as well as the day they were bought is a real testament to these almost 50 year old cameras. Something most Japanese manufacturers almost looked at as an afterthought.
Even the exposure compensation dial is firm. (I guess we can call users Olympians,…LOL) Tolerancing is tight, and build materials are metal, metal, metal. All the dials, levers and knobs click directly into place with obvious quality. A Canon SLR has nothing on this little gem.
I’ll be the first to admit the build quality is not up to a Leica, but it’s a very solid and tight build. (as opposed to most P&S being plastic) For shooters, especially street shooters, who want a low profile camera, and can’t or won’t use a P&S, this camera has all the options available with SLR’s in a very compact camera.

OK, it’s manual focus, and constructed of metal. However, as a carry everywhere with you camera, even a Leica M3 is 580g! So, it’s pretty close to a point and shoot. But considering the plethora of extra features over the Nikon, it ain’t much. For weight reference, the Olympus OM-2 is 520g and the Nikon EM is 460g. At 136 x 50 x 83mm, it even beats the Nikon EM in some dimensions at 135 × 54 × 86 mm. The OM-2 is almost the smallest SLRs ever made. I will concede they are usually Olympus shooters, but they are so adamant, it’s only logical to take a closer look.
