Olympus OM-101
A 35mm film SLR featuring a unique Power Focus system and electronic exposure control.
The Olympus OM-101 (also known as the OM-88) is a 35mm SLR camera from the OM series, designed primarily for use with Power Focus (PF) lenses. It features an automated exposure system and a unique dial-operated manual focusing system located on the camera back. While it lacks a traditional manual focus ring on the body, it offers a simplified interface for amateur photographers transitioning from compacts to SLRs.
When inspecting an OM-101, the power focus mechanism is the most critical component to test; it should respond immediately to the dial. We check the battery compartment for leakage, as these cameras rely heavily on electronic power. The shutter speeds are tested for accuracy, and the light seals and mirror bumper are checked for degradation, which is common in cameras of this era. The viewfinder is also inspected for fungal growth.
