In this article, we will introduce the shutter speed dial of OLYMPUS’s 1973 manual focus film SLR camera.
OLYMPUS OM-1 (Reference product)
It will be a film SLR camera with a steel silver body and black pasted leather, released in 1973.

In this issue, we introduced the shutter speed dial of an OLYMPUS manual focus SLR camera released in 1973.
In this OM-1, I was very surprised to see OLYMPUS’ original method of a shutter speed dial built into the lens mount, which is completely different from the one next to the shutter button that I have previously introduced.
I get excited every time I discover each manufacturer’s unique line (laughs).
