Olympus OM-2n

The Olympus OM-2n, shown here with an F.Zuiko 50mm 1.8 lens, is a small but very solid 35mm SLR film camera. In the world of point and shoot cameras, Olympus is well know for excelling at creating well made innovative compact cameras, and the same is true in the world of SLRs. The OM series of cameras is well know for being both well made and more compact than their competitors.

I found this one at a local thrift shop with the lens shown here along with an Olympus flash. It was in very clean condition and everything works properly. It will require new light seals, as they're gummy, but it proved itself light tight for my first test roll through it - a roll of Kodak BW400CN black and white C-41 film.

Right: close-up of a metal wheel, part of a damn along the Royal River in Yarmouth, Maine.
