Olympus OM-2n – You Wait 6 Months For An OM And 3 Come Along – By Bob Janes

In the late summer of 2020 I started off a film challenge over on Dyxum. I planned to shoot a whole bunch of cameras including an OM camera. Now, my own OM-1, which is an early one, suffers from a capping shutter on 1/1000. On digging it out I was rather horrified to discover that the silvering on a pentaprism was flaking.

Scratch that idea. I knew my brother-in-law had a pair of OM2n cameras, so I asked him if I could borrow one… Unfortunately my timing was bad for local lockdowns. It ended up being over six months before he was able to pass a camera to me… But when he did, the aluminium case he handed over contained three Olympus OM-2n bodies.

Berlin – capital of Germany and front line during the cold war – underwent a fundamental change during the last thirty years. Being there for the first time in 1990 right after the wall had came down, I was overwhelmed by the sheer size of the city and the very different urban layouts and appearances in the Eastern and the Western part, they even smelled differently.

I shot my first ever roll of film around 2 years ago. Since then, I have shot 5 rolls. I am no more than a beginner in film photography. It all started when I discovered a magic drawer containing all the cameras that my father had inherited or bought during his life, that is, more than 30 film cameras of all sorts.

I was wondering if I should write this post, as there is so much information about Olympus OM series in the internet? Well… In the end, I decided, why not? I have watched and read countless number of videos and reviews about every camera from this family. I own 10 OM cameras, and anytime I see one at a decent price I buy it.

The Olympus OM2n is an SLR camera that was given to me by a member of my girlfriend’s family. I’ve found this to be one of the nice aspects of film photography, when talking about this hobby, it’s quite often that someone proposes to give me an old family camera, in fact so much so that I have to limit myself in order to shoot and not being submerged by all this photographic equipment.
