The Olympus OM-1, Olympus first professional-level SLR, was a masterpiece of engineering, design, and interface. The viewfinder is still regarded as the best, or at least one of the best, ever made for a camera. The shutter is not meaningfully noisier than a leaf shutter. The lens lineup is spectacular. The entire camera and supporting system were crafted for enjoyable and comfortable use.
This video presents detailed instructions on how to use all of the Olympus OM-1's features, how to read the meter, and how to take a photo with the camera.
