I have to say that I’m very happy to have my Olympus OM-1 back from its repair. I’d not used it for a while and it had developed a shutter issue. The repair cost me around the same as it would have done to buy a new OM-1 body from a reputable dealer, but this is my OM-1, and it’s worth the money to keep it in good working order. It’s probably my favourite 35mm camera, and while I’m still not too keen on the shutter speed selector being on the lens mount (which I find a bit fiddly), it’s otherwise a very satisfying piece of kit to use. It also looks gorgeous – a proper camera if ever there was!
I loaded it with a roll of HP5+ and shot half in Sheffield, and the other half in London (while travelling between the railway station and the meeting venue). This is one of the Sheffield photos.

I agree with you about that shutter speed selector! But the more film I put through my OM-1 the less I struggle with it.

Yeah, it’s a minor quibble really. It’s a lovely camera. The viewfinder is glorious, and the shutter sound is beautiful. If there was ever a noise that said “You just made a photograph!” this is it.
