The 'n' may have meant new, but the youngest of these cameras is about
20 years old. The only functional difference between the 1 and the 1n is
the change to accommodate the T series flashes that were developed to
work with the then new OM-2. This consists of a different flash shoe and
the addition of a little light in the viewfinder.
The OM-2, 4 and OMPC series bodies do through the lens auto flash with
the T series flashes, so there is little call to use the OM-1n with a T
series flash.
If you don't need the T series flash ready and confirmation light,
condition is far more important than whether the body is a 1 or 1n.
I prefer the original OM-1, so my nice clean OM-1n is for sale. E-mail
off list if you want details.
