[. . . ] To an OM-2 Owner The OM-2 is a unique 35mm single lens reflex, utilizing the Olympus TTL Direct (Off-the-Film) Light Measuring System for unprecedented accuracy of automatic exposure. In addition, it offers full manual exposure control at the flip of a lever switch. OM-2 has set a new standard for reliability and versatility in a compact SLR, to meet the demands of the professional and amateur alike, for standard as well as scientific and technical photography pursuits. OM-2 is part of the total Olympus OM System, enabling you to capture life as it happens, from photomicrography to astrophotography, from photojournalism to portraiture. [. . . ] · Compatibility of the camera body with an electronic flash unit allowing high technic flash photography with extreme ease and
accuracy.
· Tough and reliable shutter, viewfinder, etc. When these exacting conditions have been satis-
fied, an OM-2 is born as a true system camera that
controls an entire SLR comprehensive system. The
OM-2 is backed up with over 300 components
systematically organized under eight groups -- Interchangeable Lens, Finder, Flash, Motor Drive, Phototechnical, Macrophoto, Photomicro and Case. 50
ZUIKO INTERCHANGEABLE LENS GROUP
One of many advantages of the single lens reflex camera is the large variety of interchangeable lens-
es available. The Zuiko Interchangeable Lens Group (designed and manufactured by Olympus)
comprises 33 lenses. Zuiko lenses have always enjoyed a high reputation in photographic circles -- the most modern design technology and employment of newly developed optical glass have made possible a new series of innovative, high performance lenses. These lenses have a host of special features including new construction that compensates for close focus aberrations, increased aperture ratio in the wide angle lenses, and reduction in telephoto lens size and weight. As part of the OM System design all the lenses now offer higher performance in small configurations. Olympus has produced lenses for microscopes for decades and the new Zuiko lenses benefit from this scientific experience. See the "OM System Zuiko Interchangeable Lenses" manual for further information.
