Avis sur le produitOlympus OMG 35mm SLR Film Camera Body Only

Beautiful with one exception

The Olympus OM-20 came quickly and well packaged- thank you!

However, upon opening it, I saw decaying light-sealing foam material that lines the inside of lots of these sorts of cameras. My last Olympus had this issue as well. (This material keeps light leaks out of film).

I am anxious about putting rolls of film in here without further investing in repairs for the light seal material (runs about $25-40 depending on where you go). The reality is that light leaks are already present and will become more so as time goes on. *This is no fault of the seller- the sealing material breaks down on its own.* The camera is, otherwise, in really good condition and as described.Lire l'avis complet...

Want to try a classic 35mm? Get this!

The easiest compact 35mm film SLR I had used. The metal built and small size makes it an ideal partner for street photography. Normally matched with its 50mm f1.8 partner, it takes easy on the hands and fast on the trigger. As this was designed to the entry level market, the after market value (in 2011) is amazing. This has a dedicated ring to manually determine the shutter speed. The OM10 does not have this feature.

What to look out for on a used OMG/OM20?

1. The grip. The glue often fails the rubber-like grip.
2. Often the metal rings for the strap scratch the body. The camera still works, but not nice to look at.
2. The auto metering/speed 'computer' may not be as accurate. You may need to adjust as you go along.Lire l'avis complet...

This camera will restore your faith in excellence.

I love this camera. It is the simple, back to basics camera I have longed for . The standard 50mm lens is good for photos of friends,family,pets,nature, etc. I also recieved a 75-200mm zoom, along with a 2x teleconverter.
The camera is in excellent condition and all lenses are clean and scratch free. I go back to my younger days and SLR 35mm cameras. This one is manual focus and the film advance lever, as well are the rewind handle feel good in the hand. I would recommend this camera for the beginner as well as the advance user who likes to relive the joys and beauty of the 35mm format. I have several digital SLR's, but still prefer my "Original Love".Lire l'avis complet...

Old but still a good camera body

35mm photos are still an excellent way of taking photographs.

Amazing camera

Its an outstanding camera, when I received it, it came with a nice carrying case and was nicely wrapped. The camera itself feels sturdy and has a really nice weight to it. So far it's been working pretty well and haven't had any problems with it.Lire l'avis complet...

olympus 35 mil camera

Camera was in good to excellent condition, though i did experience mirror lock with it when i first received it. I was able to resolve this issue, but have not had a chance to see how good the picture quality actually is at present time. All in all the camera and lenses was a good purchase.Lire l'avis complet...

I have three of them, because I always want to have one ready!

The best film camera I have ever owned, excellent photos with F stop control. Time lapse, fast shutter for action scenes, and fantastic photo definition.

Very good camera

I needed this camera for college, and it was exactly what I needed. I was confused on how to open the film part, until I read the book. The book made things so much easier, and I probably would not have bought this without the book.Lire l'avis complet...
