Was having a clear out of one of the spare rooms and found my dads old Olympus OM-1,never even knew he had one so must have been there a good 15+ years!

Looks to be in pretty good nick,just wondered if any of you know anything about it,good camera/collectable at all?Probs worthless but curious about it so thought I'd ask.

Gotta 28mm lens with it aswell,looks brand new

Anyways,pics of it

Not worth much now, but always good to have around. Make sure the exposure is accurate on it then whack 35mm Slide film through and expose it to cross process at the developers, amazing, weird results from that.

Otherwise buy a load of Kodak HIE film or Colour Infrared for mental effects coz they are films that are near impossible to replicate.

ASA:
(American Standards Association) Most common film speed rating in the U.S. until the conversion to ISO. Only the name has changed.

ISO:
(International Standards Organization). Most common film speed rating in the U.S. Doubling the value, doubles the film speed.
