The OM-2n was the first camera I bought new and I still have it today. I bought after a couple of years as a newspaper photographer. I was issued a really trashed OM-1 and I liked it so well I had to buy the OM-2n.
One of my favorite film cameras...meters still work too...David Bailey was a big fan also..You should mention Olympus glass...wow..
Really liked my OM1. I kept the 28mm Zuiko Lens and its now permanently on my Fujifilm X-E1. The pictures are fantastic compared to cheaper modern lenses.
Thoroughly enjoyed this Paul, my first camera was an OM1n an absolute beauty too. I now own an OM2n with a 50 1.4 as my main film camera which sits next to my Leica in the bag and gets used just as much, maybe a little bit more. They don’t make them like that anymore !
Thanks Jon
Nice review. Good to see another analog photographer who appreciates the warmth and depth of film. 🎞
You hit the spot for me today, I loved my OMs, their size even with a drive, were beautiful to use, so I’ve just re bought one.
I’m just getting into film photography and bought a om2n and you’ve established my feeling about the camera, thanks:)
I have recently purchased an Olympus 2n (as I love Olympus cameras also) and I'm about on the 4th roll so found this really enjoyable and relaxing - good music choice.
Great video, Paul. I pair my 1.4 with an Om1 and I use the 35-70 f3.6 on my OM 2n. Love them.
The feel of the OM2 is kind of jewel like. I think it's the combo of compact size and the really nice feel of the focussing ring on OM lenses. Only downside is that it's limited to 1/1000s. Back in the day I remember lusting after these in photography magazines when it was way out of my price range. It's such a great looking camera.
In 2019, an OM2N and slide film is the only way to shoot my home Maui. OM2 user since '86. Film rules and always will. Another nice video. Thanks.
Hi Paul, I love my OM2N too, that alongside my Nikon FM are such a pleasure to use, and both great value today.
Thanks Andrew
Beautiful photos, love using my O-M1, feels so natural. More insight into Stolen Moments. 🏴📷👍
Nice Paul, the Olympus OM2n is my go to camera and just love this camera above all other cameras I have owned film and digital. The simplicity of operation and the restriction of only having one lens with you 50mm is just so much fun.
Thanks mate
Always wanted to try one of those. I was given an OM-10 a while ago and I really like that one. Plus most or all of those old Zuiko prime lenses are generally really good optically. They sure know how to make good lenses, even the tiny little XA rangefinder has one of the best lenses I've ever tried.
I love my OM2n. Thanks for sharing
I bought an OM10 a few years ago because of the 6 Zuiko Lenses that went with it. I meant to upgrade the camera, but it takes such good images I never bothered. I also really like the idiosyncrasies of the shutter speed attachment and I have a thing about cameras that shouldn’t be as good as they are. I keep it as my 'colour' 35mm set up because I have such a good selection of lenses, but I only shoot about 2 rolls a year.
You’ve now whetted my desire to upgrade again, but I think I’ll buy a digital Olympus and lens converter.
Another great video thanks.
Thanks ! You have a good eye for black and white photo compositions
Thank you for this video. Appreciate it.
I‘ve got the Om2n from my father this year. It‘s a marvelous camera with great lens. The Olympus really helps me with my analoge photography.
Greetings from Germany
Thanks Ko
Enjoyed this video, and thanks for putting it together. Sins 1987 I use my OM1n and OM2n . In my mind in the same class as an Leica SL2 , and I have a SL2.

They absolutely are, my friend
Brilliant photos mate!
Thankyou
Great photos!
Couldn't agree more, Paul. It is indeed a superb camera. I love using mine. Great post.
Thanks Matt
Right On! Olympus Fanboy right here! Love all my Olympus's especially my Om1n and Olympus 35 Sp. Fantastic Captures! Jane Bown is one of my favorite Portrait Photographer's who shot a lot with Her Olympus Om1.
You've displayed some stunning images here. I love the Olympus. It makes me a better photographer I feel. Thanks from NYC.
Keep finding these little video gems that you’ve recorded Paul, really enjoy your presentation style, please don’t stop. Regards Graham.
Thanks and sorry for the late reply
Greetings, mr. Smith.
T.y. for your neat videos. The Oly. OM-system started in 1972 when it was presented at Photokina, under the initial, M, for the last name of the gent. behind the new system. It was a response to Leica at the time, but in an SLR-package, rather than a rangefinder. The first OM-1, was named M1. I have one I purchased via eBay, shipped from Japan. You should count on that all M1's are in Japan, at least mostly. All M1's I've seen on eBay are from Japan, meaning one has to pay customs, which I was wiling to, and did. Due to the emminent lawsuit by Leica, Oly. seized the producton of all products onder the M-name, and had to rename it. Approx 5.000 M1's were already produced. I don't know how many lenses and other things were produced with the M-name, but no M-produc was ever exported out of Japan.
My M1, is one with a red re-skin, and might be the only existing with this skin, and wear. I have with my Oly. PEN-F taken a sensorshift-HDR of my M1, you would perhaps have interest in seeing. You can let me know via a response to this comment.
Good day to you.

Hello great review ... a question, if for some moment the om2n circuits fail, could I still use it in manual mode? Thanks 🙏🏼
No I dont think so, this om2n is now a paperweight have replaced it with another.
Excellent photographs, I really liked them, thank you very much for your video.
Nice
Nice upload, it was helpful! Two questions; Which film did you use to take these B&W shots in your first few sample shots, and, did you edit the photo's afterwards, or not? Thanks!
Totally agree Paul, OM's are awesome! That damped shutter sound is great huh?! I've got an OM1 and an OM4 at home, same 50mm 1.4, a 35, 28 and 135. I've had an om2n also and the best thing about them compared to the OM1 is that we can put regular 1.5v batteries in them! Can't go wrong, an iconic camera used by many well known photographers.
They really are great cameras! Your photos are so beautiful. Scanning is on point as well! 😀
Thanks
I just found your video on the OM2n, you underestimate yourself. I have subscribed and now I have lots of stuff to watch. Cheers! As for inspiration, many ask me who I look up to and try to emulate. I know this might sound arrogant or something like that, but my answer is nobody. I shoot for me and my style of shooting. I do enjoy looking at the greats who came before me.I don't try to emulate anybody, because after all, it has been done already. I even have a history of photography page on my website.
Wow, those b&w photos are a real knockout! First of your vids I've seen, YT fed it to me because it knew I'd recently got a new OM2 after my old one froze up.
Welcome!
I only used that one once, but felt pretty good in the hands
Great video. As always.
Thanks Jammi
Interesting thanks. You're the reason I got an OM1. I'm currently trying to resist buying an OM2n in my local camera shop. So thanks for that 😃
Your welcome lol
Enjoyable as usual. Loved the images, Paul. It's 105F (40.5 C) or so here in Southern Arizona, USA at 2 PM and still warming. I'm jealous of your bad weather.
Lol thanks man
Good stuff Paul .. Yer, the weather has been a bit miserable out their & the worst is yet to come my friend.
A great time to get some of that editing done that seems to always get put on the back burner & look at all the new ( Goodies ) coming out, with the latest this & the latest that, .. where i suppose it does get to a stage of ? ... how much cameras & gear do you need ... Lol !! . I mentioned a while ago that i was considering getting a better camera, but i'm actually finding that i don,t use all the cameras that i have got .. i think around 7 going' & about about 6 deceased ones sitting up on the office shelf like a War Memorial Museum !! ... finding i'm having a few issues with Adobe Pr crashing a lot lately ... don,t know if you have the same problems from time to time as in not responding ? However, i suppose the joy's of new technology. Keep that fire cranked & keep warm !!
Hey mate cheers for that, no no probs for me with premier
Great shots.
The best pictures I took were with a OM 2n and their 24 mm f2 lens. It just works feels good in my large hands surprisingly; the ads back then were right. Good metering as I only use to take positive (slide) film with it. Only thing is the viewfinder spoiled me, bright and accurate no DSL came close. My regret was not getting the 40mm and 100 f2 lens when they were first released, might be to expensive now for me.
great photos
Está cámara es una de las mejores que yo he conocido en mis años de trabajo.
Después de haber trabajado con inumerables cámaras de 35 mm me quedo con la Olimpus om2n. Y con las Barnack .
Gran calidad en las imágenes y una ingeniería Asombrosa.
Saludos desde México..
Sí, es una gran cámara, gracias por mirar.
I would have liked you to talk about the framing and taking of a shot using a Leica vs Olympus
I have an OM-1 and absolutely love it.......Planning on picking up a OM-2n......Zuiko lens are so sharp they dangerous! Thanks for the vid,Cheers!
Thanks Andy
Thanks to the legendary designer Mr. Yoshihisa Maitani, the shutter speed ring located in front of the camera was peculiar and fantastic design, and I loved that. I wish Olympus would do the same with their digital cameras too. I had OM 1, 2n, and 4 during the 80's and 90's. I guess, OM D M10 gives pretty close feeling of using an OM2n. At least, this is my impression with M10mk2. All of the OM series film cameras were great cameras. And, Zuiko 50mm f/1.4 lens was one of the best comrades of those cameras.
Always liked the OM series, but gravitated to Pentax primarily because I have dinner plates for hands. Plus back in the day it was cool to be a Pentax owner.
Did you partake of the fish & chips at the wharf at Raglan whilst there? BTW your work helps inspire me as well. Kudos.
Thanks mate
Great camera, i have the om-1 and it is one of my favourite 35mm camera’s. I also have the 50mm 1.4 and i am saving up for the 28mm 2.0.
I have the 28mm nice but not as nice as the 50mm
Really loved that Paul. Bought an OM2 Spot for my wife as her first film camera, she still loves it even though she now owns an M6. Start a Kofi page Mate so as we can support your great output. Shaun.
Thanks Shaun
11:22 Haha, I've stood in that exact place and shot more or less the same picture about 15 years ago! Mine wasn't quite as good though :-) That's in Prague, I believe.
Maybe One of the best meters ever. Duly smooth operation and excellent glass.
Keep throwing them together Paul
I like your style Paul. I also shoot olympus digital. But maybe I’ll go back to film for certain needs. OM2 should do just fine.
Thanks Jack

As I am sure you know Olympus is an off-shoot from Contax, Hence the good lenses. I never could get into the Olympus cameras but I know several really great photographers that also love them. Cameras are tools and any tool that fits your hands right are always the best tool. Just keep putting out the great work Paul. I suspect you can do nice work with any tool that offers a control of apeture, shutter speed, and ISO.
@tony aldridge - ? Contax began as a Zeis Ikon model in 1932 and was eventually produced by Kyocera, I do not know of, and cannot find, any relationship between Contax and Olympus - which was formed in 1919 and produced cameras from 1936. Can you provide a citation for your claim? I’m interested to find out about any link between the two.
I just bought an OM2n at a country op shop last week (Camera, 2 x lenses, flash, bag) for $50AUD in fantastic condition. It is a dream to use, like a fine sports car! Can't wait for my first roll of film to come back. Is the lady on Instagram you are thinking of Fiona Lark? Moody B&W self portraits?
No I actually found her, ... kaykrentz was her page name
Thanks for the surprise video. Please keep going. The social media popularity doesn’t equate the creator’s skills.
Rain - no problem with my Pentax K-5 and the 18-135 WR lens.
I've been looking so hard for a video where someone shoots the 1.4 lens on film, not digital adapted (because it doesn't perform), but you only shot black and white... 💀 I need to see color too!
Here in the UK Olympus became a household name in the 1970's thanks to a bit of crafty advertising for the Olympus Trip involving reknowned photographer David Bailey and the punch line "David Bailey, who's he?"
Thats a great Camera.
My OM2 with my zuiko 28mm . What can I say .
Get a 28mm f2.8 you’ll love it
What makes a great camera?
1. Range of good lenses that accept.
2. Shutter speed, 1/8000 is a must.
3. Viewfinder, 100% is a must.
4. Easyness in changing setings.
What camera I like is another question.
(English is foreign language for me so is poor :-))
Omg! I didn't know Devin Townsend is this awesome at takin photos!
I never knew Paul Smith played guitar that bad
I love to shoot with fujica and minolta.
Hello! Nicely wrapped video. I personally own an Olympus OM-2N. I thought you might appreciate knowing that I referenced your video in one playlist I created on my channel. Nice work! Let's stay in touch!
I've no doubt that an OM2n is a great SLR (I've got an OM10 which is pretty good) but if I had to sell my soul for a camera it would still be the Trip 35 - the Land Rover of the camera world!
Those Trips are awesome
in the old days wene kodak cameras were used by every one people took the film to the chemist it got picked up and every body loved the photos nowadays we are spoiled
Eugene Richards shot a prolific book, Cocaine True, Cocaine Blue with the Olympus camera.
Amazing it was too, thanks for pointing it out
I've got one. It's easily as good as a Nikon FM3a
Funny you should say that just brought 2 more today
Lord Lichfield, and bonnington took an om 2 up everest
If you enjoy the OM-2, you will definitely enjoy the more powerful OM-4.
Will have to look one out, thanks!
