Olympus OM System Living History Farm

Very nice, Ken.

They look too modern perched upon those Winders and Motor Drives.

You need an M-1 or a pre-MD OM-1 to join the farm.

Here is a photograph of the current state of the Olympus Living History Farm.

I would really like an OM4t but I have not been able to convince one to come home with me yet.

Speaking of which, why does it seem like the om4t's are always badly worn?

All OM-4T's badly worn? You should look for one with the "JCII Passed" sticker on it . . .

Two reasons come to mind. First of all, the OM-4T bodies are pro bodies, so many of them had seen serious use. The other reason is that the paint on them is not very robust at all. The OM-3Ti has a far better finish, as well as the silver OM-1 bodies.

Ah yes, and what a lovely farm it is.
My OM collection looks distinctly worse, much wear but working fine. I feel I have MY perfect setup;
OM-1md
24 f2.8
35 f2.8
50 f1.8
85 f2
135 f3.5
200 f5
Varimagni right angle finder
and finally, OM-2sp as a spare body
Of course this is a hobby for me. Ken is making his gear work for a living.
