Condition Descriptions
Please read our Guarantee.
Mint
Factory's MINT cameras and lenses have been overhauled or serviced to precise, like-new or near-mint specifications. All our mint items are Factory Certified and guaranteed to work flawlessly after our professional repair or CLA service.
Excellent
Factory items rated as EXCELLENT are thoroughly tested and inspected with task-specific equipment (shutter speed testers, for example) to ensure they function properly and accurately. Any existing flaws will be documented, but they will not impact typical use.
Good
All items with status GOOD are hand-tested, inspected, and confirmed to be in good working order. These items perform well, but may just show signs of use and wear, i.e. they are not in perfect cosmetic condition. Flaws will be noted, but they will not affect typical use.
Fair
All items marked as FAIR may have flaws that could affect how smoothly an item operates (a rear door may stick when being opened, or a lens focus ring may turn roughly). But even if the camera or lens doesn’t perform like new, or isn't in prime cosmetic condition, it still functions properly.
Please note that since FAIR items did not meet our quality control standards, we do not guarantee their performance or condition. Items are sold as-is.
Includes original instruction manual.
The Olympus OM-2 is a compact 35mm SLR camera introduced in 1975, renowned for its innovative TTL (Through-The-Lens) off-the-film (OTF) metering system. This feature measures light directly from the film plane during exposure, ensuring precise automatic exposures even in challenging lighting conditions.
Building upon the success of the OM-1, the OM-2 offers both aperture-priority automatic exposure and full manual control, catering to a wide range of photographic styles. Its electronically controlled shutter provides speeds from 1 to 1/1000 second, along with a bulb mode for long exposures.
The OM-2’s compact and lightweight design, combined with its compatibility with Olympus’s extensive range of Zuiko lenses, makes it a versatile choice for both amateur and professional photographers. Its durable construction and advanced metering system have solidified its reputation as a classic in the world of film photography.
