- Today I’m taking a look at the famous Olympus OM-1, a completely mechanical SLR film camera from 1972. I recently picked this baby up and decided to test shoot it and show you guys some of the shots I took on it with some Kodak Portra 400 film negatives. I really enjoy this camera. It’s sturdy, comfortable and has great image quality. Definitely a keeper.

These shots all look so crisp and dreamy. Nice comprehensive review. It's always fun to hear how people start to fall in love with love
The OM-1 cameras are a blast to shoot with, and the OM glass is super sharp. Depending on which battery you are using, and the condition of the light meter, you may want to over expose by a half stop (not always easy with these cameras) whenever you are shooting high contrast scenes.
I love mine! Thanks for the tip too. I was dealing with a ton of under exposed photos and I was wondering what I was doing wrong bc my light meter showed that it was working. But I’ve been using an external light meter on my phone that works surprisingly well
I love the vibes to these photos!
Loved the car shots
Awesome photographs! I can’t wait to shoot my Olympus OM 1
It’s a great camera!
Amazing video bro. Simple and to the point. Regards from uruguay!
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback
Personally I don't mind the darker shots. Very moody and smooth.
I have 2 OM1s and and OM-G. The OM-G has an auto shutter speed with an in display read out. It's a killer camera for its price and even after using a friend's Leica I was happy to pick the Olympus back up. It's controls are superior and so is the viewfinder.
I’ve been using OM’s since I was eighteen. The metering is centre weighted so the camera reads predominantly towards the middle of the frame. Next time try and point the camera at an area of mid tone (semi shadow) take a note of the reading then set the f number or shutter speed for that then re-compose and take the shot. This should increase the number of correct exposures.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽
The way you took the shots are really amazing it makes me want to buy this camera🥺
@@AndyPerezCaba I'll buy it for sure!!
Hi I missed you 😘
Hey, thanks for the video, I'm going to buy one now. Also, on the shots that go before each OM shot, how did you get that really nice glow/blur quality to it? I like those as much as the OM shots. Thanks!
I think it’s just the lens I had! I don’t think I had a diffuser on, but If I did I recommend the black promist
@@AndyPerezCaba thanks for replying! Yes I kept investigating and realised I liked the look of Promist filters, but interesting to know you didn't use one!
Hi, What camera were you using right before the pictures were shown as it looked retro already.
Want to know this too!
does the sony alpha a6000 have video stabilization when you were shooting the video?
No the camera doesn’t have that built it. I used mini tripod :)
@@AndyPerezCaba actually thinking about using a zhiyun crane
@@kenneth_mirez I have the Weebill S and love it
im new to shooting film, when hand held do you recommend using 1.8 aperture and around 30-60 shutter speed in bright environments? the aperture and 16 rule confuses me.
16= Very bright, no clouds, full sun.
11&8= little overcast/sun with clouds/shadows
5.6&4= overcast
2.8&1.8= indoor/night photography
Some even say put the shutterspeed as close as the ISO you're using. For example if you use 200 ISO, you set the shutterspeed at 1/250
Just wonder: did you use a 1.35 V battery? If not this could be the reason why the light meter did not work accurately. I have an OM-2, and at the moment I think about buying an OM-1 because of its simplicity.
Did the same thing - have the OM2sp for almost 20 years, bought the OM1 two days ago...
If you used a 1.5v battery, you have to adjust the Film speed two stops down (400-->100, 200-->50, 100-->25) thats what I just learned yesterday as I bought an om-1 on ebay 😉
@@unsbuxtehude6952 Interesting. The OM-1 was not adapted to 1.5V batteries, I guess?
The camera originally took 1.35v batteries. You can "teach" The light meter the 1.5v, but thats a task for a specialist😉 the easier way is to "overexpose". There are some adaptors with diodes in it. They compensate the excess voltage, but they are expensive aswell, so I would/will first try the ISO method
@@unsbuxtehude6952 I know about the original 1.35v, just wondered if this overexpose trick has to be done with adapted cameras, too. I still think about buying one from someone who offers them with 1.5v.
you're probably getting a wrong exposure meter because you've put lr44 or some different 1.5v battery inside, which has more voltage than it should be (1.35v). its giving more power to the needle making it swing up than the actual light value. this same thing has happend with me, and after some research i found out about this problem.
Soulution is to use Power One Hearing Aid P675 battery which is close to the actual mecury cell of the OM cameras
Yes! I had to change the battery lol
@@AndyPerezCaba 🙏🏻
were you using the 50mm? or the 28mm?
great shots btw
Thanks! And 50mm
Where did you purchase your camera?
eBay
Where do u buy battery for this
Amazon
Does this camera have a sd card attachment
This is a film camera. No SD card
@@AndyPerezCaba so how can I transfer my work to my computer or is it not possible
You have to develop and scan the photos! I made a video on this if you want to check it out :)
What exact model is this?
The MD
@@AndyPerezCaba Thanks I'm new to this whole photography thing. im trying to buy one but other m-1s say different things, so it's difficult to know which m1 is a better version!
@@eriks6610 canon F1, Nikon FE, and the Pentax k1000 are pretty good options too!
wait, is that phoenix???
Yesss 🤣🤣
@@AndyPerezCaba do you live here? if so, I just bought that camera, I need some advices, do you do street photography by any chance?
