Olympus OM-2n Black - The Professional Compact Legend
This listing is for a stunning, near mint example of the Olympus OM-2n in the highly desirable professional black finish. As the refined successor to the original OM-2, the "n" model features an improved flash sync system and a redesigned film advance lever. It remains one of the most sophisticated compact SLRs ever made, famous for its revolutionary "Off-The-Film" (OTF) electronic metering.
This set is paired with a versatile Miranda 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 Zoom Lens, offering a perfect "walk-around" range from wide-angle to portrait. Also included is the Olympus Motor Winder 2, which provides automatic film advance, allowing for faster shooting and giving the camera a more substantial, professional feel in the hand.
Key Features & Specifications
• Exposure Modes: Dual-mode operation—Aperture Priority (Auto) and Full Manual.
• OTF Metering: Advanced system that measures light reflected off the film during exposure for incredible accuracy.
• Motor Winder 2: Allows for automatic film winding and continuous shooting up to 2.5 frames per second.
• Viewfinder: Massive, bright, and famous for its high magnification and clear data display.
• Finish: Professional black enamel finish that is notably cleaner than most examples found today.
Condition: Near Mint & Fully Working
This set has been exceptionally well-preserved and is in top-tier cosmetic and mechanical condition.
• Cosmetics: Near Mint. The black finish is remarkably clean with virtually no paint wear. Please note there is one tiny dent with bare brass visible, which adds a touch of authentic professional character to the black enamel.
• Functionality: 100% fully functional. All shutter speeds are accurate, and the auto-exposure system is responsive.
• Motor Winder: Tested and working perfectly. Importantly, the motor drive cap is present and is safely stored in its dedicated slot inside the battery tray compartment.
• Light Meter: The internal metering system has been tested and is accurate.
• Optics: The Miranda 28-70mm lens is pristine—crystal clear glass with no fungus, haze, or scratches. The viewfinder is bright and clean.
• Mechanics: The lens focus and zoom rings are smooth; the aperture blades are clean and snappy.
PLEASE NOTE:
• This listing includes the Olympus OM-2n Black Body, Miranda 28-70mm Lens, and Olympus Motor Winder 2.
• Batteries: The camera requires two LR44 batteries, and the Winder requires four AA batteries (not included).
• The OM Advantage: Having the original motor drive cover included is a rare bonus, as these are frequently lost when a winder is attached.
