A classic Olympus OM-2N - Olympus's OM series was renowned for being smaller and lighter than competing Canon/Nikon SLRs of the era, with excellent Zuiko lens optics. OTF metering was innovative. The 50mm f/1.8 Zuiko is a compact classic standard prime. A popular film-enthusiast setup.
Frequently asked questions
How do OM-mount lenses compare to other SLR systems?
Olympus Zuiko OM-mount lenses are well-regarded for optical quality per weight and size. The OM system was designed around compactness, which extended to the lenses. Good used availability; some lenses (particularly the Zuiko 50mm f/1.2, 24mm f/2, and macro primes) are highly sought-after.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
