From: utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!G:cliff Newsgroups: net.rec.photo Title: OM-1 query Article-I.D.: populi.221 Posted: Wed Jul 7 12:11:23 1982 Received: Thu Jul 8 01:34:30 1982 I have owned an Olympus OM-1 for ~4 yrs and have been generally very happy with it. How can anyone claim that it is over-priced? It is certainly in the same price range as the comparable Pentax, Canon, Minolta etc, and cheaper than most... My only complaint is with the light meter, it tends to give a low reading, causing pictures (particularly in the mountains, sigh) to be slightly over-exposed. Anyone else had this problem? On other lines, now that Nikon has lowered their prices, is it worth it to sell my OM 1 and buy a Nikon FM? The size of these two cameras is wonderful, and I am convinced of Nikon's superior reliability and lense quality (any comments about the FM in this regard). Where on earth have people been hearing that Nikons are unreliable????? -Cliff ucbvax!g:cliff
