The Olympus OM-1 changed the SLR game when it was introduced in 1972. Its release signaled a trend towards compact (yet full-featured) SLRs that would be echoed in things like the Pentax ME Super, Nikon FM/FE, Minolta XD7, and more. Here, Connor goes through what makes the Olympus tick and what every button, dial, switch, and lever does!
