Talk:Olympus OM system

Built-in spot meter
The following comment has been added by 209.124.143.185 into the article. I moved it here, feel free to correct the article accordingly if required (I am not into cameras). &mdash; Agentbla (talk) 20:44, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * [The "It was the first camera with a built-in spot meter " is not entirely correct; please research earlier spot-meter equipped 35mm Olympus rangefinder "35SP" and also other manufacturers of 35mm SLRs, even Mamiya/Sekor made a passable spot-meter equipped 1000DTL model. These were primitive by comparison to the exquisite Olympus OM-4, but were beginnings of a better breed of built-in metering systems. The spot meter made the transition from hand-held meters into cameras in the 1970s; usually alongside a more primary wider sensor meter mode, such as Mamiya's; with a button or a switch to activate the spot meter feature, or to change from one meter field of view to another.]

Link to olypedia.de
Sorry, but olypedia.de is not spam, promotion or any other (we say in german) "Quatsch". It is THE german free wiki about olympus - nothing to do with olympus co! You find here many informations about olympus, that you can not find in en.wikipedia.org or other wikis. The most of the autors came from germany, for many of them (also my person) is english not a favorite language.

I try again....

Sorry - my english is for runaways...

OM Chassis
One if my personal preferences for a camera is that it has a mechanical release for a "wound-up" shutter release, rather than an electronic release for selenoid (or electrical motor) driven shutter. This has led me to investigate cameras closely by looking at "expoloded" diagrams, for instance, rather than rely on hearsay for this specific information. Of course, my own investigation is OR, but I believe it is valid to this page as I am beginning to believe that the entire OM line is built from a single design criteria, if not on a single chassis basis. I have compared the OM-1, OM-2, OM-G, and OM-PC digagams and descriptions to come to this conclusion. The OM-3 and -4 were specific extensions of the OM-1 and -2. (I can provide the OR on the Wikiversity, but I am not allowed to present it here, as that would be "self-promoting," or something...)

Excluded is the OM-2000, made by Cosina (which is part of Cosina's common chassis basis for example, in its rangefinder series, as well as some of its SLRs).--John Bessa (talk) 17:18, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 15:23, 6 December 2014 (UTC)== Needs photo of BACK of OM Mount lens ==

I use these wikipedia pages for information about vintage lens mount systems. So the section on adapters is a good one! But the problem is that you guys don't show the back of an OM Mount lens. Surely someone editing this article *own* an OM Mount lens and can take a photo of the back of it in order to show the mount. Then stick it in this article! Thanks!

Ps. I found a creative commons shot of the back of two OM Mount lens... surely someone can take a shot with better focus. https://www.flickr.com/photos/camerawiki/6638161289/in/photolist-bn5vbY-b7Aj5H-q2Hij-fLDRzQ-ajffXK-d8iChA-d8iC99-nUGCkQ-ebRo4L-GLdGo-8YZaBh-vgtAh-nASyVM-d8iCbA-aji413-ajffYP-e7x8qZ-bSzcrx-e7CMxf-kvdu62/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.71.65.65 (talk) 15:51, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
