Olympus OM-1 35mm Film Camera

with 50mm F1.8 Lens

Meet your new partner in vintage crime—the Olympus OM-1, the undisputed OG of 35mm film cameras. If you're serious about collecting and crave that touch of classic cool, this camera is your golden ticket to nostalgia.

The Olympus OM-1 is not just a camera; it's a conversation starter, a showstopper, and the secret weapon in the arsenal of every photography aficionado. Released in 1972, it's not just a piece of history; it's the history-maker. Originally hitting the shelves as the "M-1," it was so darn impressive that even the competition (looking at you, Leica) asked for a name change—it was just too close for comfort to their M-Series. Now that's what we call making waves in the camera world!

We lovingly restore, test, and clean all of our camera models to ensure that despite its age, your vintage Olympus OM-1 works as well as it would have if purchased it back in 1972. This means that you’ll be able to capture your soulmate’s smile, your puppy dog’s eyes, or the sunset of your last day at college – straight out of the box.

So, why settle for ordinary when you can turn heads with the Olympus OM-1? Whether you're expanding your collection or aiming to impress your camera-loving hot date, this is the one that steals the spotlight. Take it to weddings, baseball games, or puppy playtime—this camera is as versatile as it is iconic. Classic, cool, and ready for action, the Olympus OM-1 is not just a camera; it's an experience. Step into the world of vintage charm, where every click is a nod to the golden era of film photography.

By the way, protect your camera for 1-2 years with our protection plan. We cover all boo boos at no cost to you.

    How We Grade Our Cameras

    We restore, test, and clean all of our cameras to ensure that despite its age, your Cute Camera works as well as it would have if purchased it in 1976. This means that you’ll be able to capture your soulmate’s smile, your puppy dog’s eyes, or the sunset of your last day at college – straight out of the box. 

    VERY GOOD:

    A "very good" body will have minimal signs of wear and tear. Examples include slight impurities like  worn leather or metal, signs of age on the bottom plate, and dull marks. 

    GOOD:

    A “good” body will also look nice but have some additional potential cosmetic wear such as spots with discoloration,  worn down metal or small scratches somewhere on the body.

    AVERAGE:

    An “average” body will be a more severe case of cosmetic wear like more extreme discoloration or worn down metal, exterior or interior black
    specs, deeper scratches, or lines in the eye prism.

    Olympus OM-1

    My Olympus OM-1 arrived from Cute Camera Co. in Austin, Texas. My first 35mm camera.
    I quickly loaded some Kodak Gold 200 and headed down to the Community Center Lake chasing the fading light.

    I have been a digital photographer for 20 years and now I am adding film photography as well.

    The camera is a real beaut. Heavy. All metal. It's designed to work without a battery. I sprang for the warranty as well.
    It was first manufactured in Japan the year I was born.

    Looking forward to this next step and excited to share something when I have something to share.

    Purchased a camera here last minute for my film photography class and they came through! Came on time even a bit earlier than expected. Tested out my camera with my professor, it has perfect performance and quality. First time purchasing online so was a bit worried but def worth it. Id say if you were to use your hard earned money i would stop here. Others in my class had a lot of problems with other sites and buying from sketchy people.
