Subject: [OM] OM-1(n): mechanical or electronic shutter? Does it need
batteries for shutter?
<lots of snippage>
Has the OM-1(n) got a mechanical or electronic shutter? Mechanical. 1 and 1N
both.
Does it need batteries for the shutter? No. Only for the meter. Ditto
models.
The OM-3 doesn't does it, for any shutter speed? That's my understanding.
I thought that the non-electronic shutter might make the OM-3 possible to
repair in the long term (20 years plus) when electronic components might be
not available. Do you disagree? Nope. You could theoretically have a fully
mechanical camera repaired as long as there's someone willing to fabricate
replacement parts, and someone willing to pay for those parts.
If you see anyone selling an OM-3, please tell me! Not until I have my own
:-)
Kind regards,
Dave Bellamy.
