I just brought this camera and I feel more confident on how to us it thanks.
Thank you so much! I just received my Olympus OM-10 which I found on ebay. I was confused about how to set shutter speed. I will test this and see how it turns out. Great video.
I actually bought one of these two weeks ago and I love it. No faffing about, lovely photos from day one and it's the first slr film camera I've ever bought. I recommend this to anyone who's starting off. Thanks for the video.
This video was very helpful, I just received the OM10 today and I’m excited to put it to use.
Your video really helped me decide to get this camera several months ago. I love my OM-1 with my 50mm 1.4, but on this camera (the OM-10) wider angle lenses like the 35mm f2.8 and 28mm f2.8 do fantastic with zone focusing - if you put on the 28mm and set it to f8 or f11, with focus at 3m, basically everything is in focus so it becomes a point and shoot!
What would you have the shutter speed on?
Thanks Jonathan, brings back memories. I actually bought one of these new, at the time it was a bit of a battle between Pentax (ME etc.) and Olympus, how things have changed! Looking forwards to seeing the spot meter video, something I am keen to use with 6x7 format cameras.
This was my first 35mm camera. Great little thing for beginners, very cheap even with the manual adapter. And holy shit I saw your Gellért Baths photo on reddit like two weeks ago and loved it, didn't know it was you!
My fav camera to shoot these days! Great vid thanks for making it.
It's nice to see the OM-10 as the star of a video again! It was my first proper film SLR when I got into photography, and despite me now owning some much nicer gear (including an OM-2n), I keep coming back to the OM-10 now and again, it holds too much sentimental value to get rid of. Unfortunately though mine's slowly succumbing to old age where the viewfinder meter display is inaccurate and the manual adapter mode causes the mirror to lock up, and despite having had it serviced, it's come back. It genuinely makes me quite sad that the poor thing's falling apart!
Great video. Thanks for the help and sharing your photos too. 👍🙏
Thank you so much for this! My great grandfather gave me this and he’s the first one who bought it since he was photographer in 19’s
Awesome video man thanks for all the help!
I definitely saw you post that bath picture on Reddit! So cool see it circle back. I bought an olympus online for $40, I found out today it has a slow shutter but I think I found an easy fix for it. Great video :)
I really enjoy your videos Jonathan. The Olympus OM10 was the first camera I had. Bought it brand new in 1989 and I was 14. Still have it in mint condition. Did all my photography with it until I got my first digital in 2003. Now Im back to film and use the original OM1 as my main camera. Have not used the OM10 for a while - after this video I want to load it it up and use it again. Such nice compact slr bodies the OM system cameras. And great lenses available for it at good prices.
Amazing, just thinking about getting this one, thanks for the review!
Bought this camera and actually messed up my first roll because I had no clue how to use it but thanks to this I’m excited for the next time I go out to shoot! Great video
I got one of these cheap a few months ago and shot a roll through it. The photos came out fine and it's a great way to get into film. I ended up selling it to a friend at the cost I paid for it bc I wasn't keen on the meter display style. I've been shooting the Pentax ME lately which is nearly identical, but the 1.7 lens instead of the normal f/2. I like the meter readout much better.
Great review, Jonathan. Loved the vintage commercial.
Thanks for saying that the manual adapter is not absolutely necessary. I was a bit sad bc mine does not have it either but now I'm happy to see I can still take good photos with it and enjoy it! I'm new at this. Cheers from Mexico!
This is crazy. I’ve been using this camera for years now, but I wanted to know more about it and found your video. Then you start talking about my hometown (Budapest) ☺️ Hope you’re still rocking this camera
Great review!!! Good job!
This was my first camera 34 years ago with the manual adapter still have and love it
Well, that video was well timed for me! I was just given one of these cameras by a friend of mine. It was her granddads camera and she doesn't really do film photography. Just loaded it up with some film and I'm gonna test it tomorrow. Needed a good clean, but everything seems to be working well. Don't think it's been used for many years, but the battery is still good :-)
Thanks for the review video.
For info - When the camera times out in "on" mode, you just have to touch the ring around the shutter dial, to activate the camera again.
This was sooo helpful so thank you!
I really liked the shots at the pool and of the Hungarian beer! I just pickied one of these guys up, so I've been digging around to see what other people have said about it before I take mine out. 🙂
I just bought one of these today. I do like to use manual so I bought the adapter. I have nothing against shooting aperture priority and I probably will use it that way mostly, but I do like the option.
I'm excited to get my hands on it as I've always wanted either one of these or the OM-1 but I always missed the good deals on them until today.
One thing Jonathan, if you hold a little tension on the rewind lever, you can use the front switch to shoot a double exposure, works very well, great camera, in my case replaced a Praktica Nova 1b and put me well and truly into Olympus, now have a couple of OM2's with glass from 21mm to 300mm all superb lenses.
Hi Jonathan! Great video! Really nice review and I appreciate that you included the history info with the old ads in the beginning. However just need point out that the beers in 8:09 are not "Hungarian beers" as you mentioned but Pilsner Urquell which is a Czech brand beer. Especially if the picture is from Szimpla Kert I am sure about it. :)
thank you bro!! just got this camera from my dad. this helps allot.
I bought this camera a couple years ago because I wanted to use the lens on my digital camera. Starting to think about trying film. Will run a couple rolls and see how it goes. This is an excellent tutorial for newbies to both film and this camera body. Thanks!
Nice review. I gave one of these to a friend recently to get him into film photography. The housing around the shutter button can be pressed to activate the light meter but I heard it's a common part to fail. It stopped working on my one then I had to start switching the camera on and off every time I wanted to see the light meter. A little inconvenient but still usable.
My first ever camera in around 1980. It always performed really well. I have some great photos from it. I even used to shoot air shows with it pretty well with a telephoto lens on it. I still own it! I can’t let it go… 👍🇬🇧👀
Thanks for this helpful video Jon! I've just bid on one of these and saving this vid to rewatch for when I get it :) I tried to get a Pentax K1000 as it's always recommended as a starter film cam but it got way overpriced, so I'm happy to hear that this OM-10 probably will do too! And I can get the adapter later if I get the full manual itch.
They're both good cameras. I was handed down the Pentax k1000 from my dad. The k1000 has the advantage being fully mechanical and will work without a battery in it. The om10 requires batteries in order to work, however I do like the fact that the om10 has a self timer on it.
Love this camera! Used to shoot my dad's back in the early 80s when I was a kid!
A like just for the intro keyboard music. 😊
The OM 10 was my first camera, and the switch to digital made mad sense once I realized the "aperature priority setting" made them behave similarly.
Brilliant camera. Mine is still going strong. Bought it in 1981
this has nothing to do with the camera but your room looks like it came out from a tv show and i LOVE it :D
My father bought one in 1984 and took really wonderful pictures, especially of my childhood from day 1 to around 8-9 years old when we made the switch to phone cameras.
Since he wasn't using it anymore I got curious and shot an expired roll of Kodak Gold 200 when I was 15, of course I messed up almost every shot and I put it away immediately only to come back to it two years later after developing a deep interest in slide film photography. I started with expired rolls I found and I really got to understand and love this camera and what I could do with it, the only slide films still made at that point were Provia 100F and Agfa CT Precisa 100 (discontinued shortly after) but I just didn't like how they looked compared to the expired Kodak Elite Chrome I already shot. Finally in 2018 Kodak announced the comeback of Ektachrome E100(G) finally giving me slide film I like for the camera I love.
Just bought one with 3 lenses. And am excited to try it out. I've never used a analog SLR. Probably it will end up shining on a shelf. But the lenses can be adopted on my Olympus MFT camera.
Thanks for this video, now I know how to use it. :)
hows it going
My first SLR it was my grandfathers when he worked at Kodak. Now I have a OM-4 Ti
I have the manual adapter for my OM-10 and with that it is a pretty good camera with one exception, no PC socket. You can get a shoe mount type but it is just another thing to have to carry and think about. I prefer my OM-1s but the OM-10 will not let you down......
Nice video! Thank you! i have just the same camera and i cant figure oute how to change the battery, can you also help with that??
Thanks!
Hey, I'm new to film photography and was wonder why you have to advance it two frames when loading the film? Love the information in this video!
Any film exposed to light during the loading process will turn out blank, the advanced frames are just to pull out ‘fresh’ and ready to shoot film from the canister
I really was looking for how to replace the battery. Wish you had covered that.
Jonathan, I have OM10 which I bought in 1981, now the shutter release button stuck, any tips on troubleshooting?
What happen when you set the dial on the body to manual adaptor without putting the actual adaptor? Can you still shoot? What is the shutter speed? Thanks in advance.
The Food Pedia apparently it’s 1/60 for flash sync
One question. On the viewfinder in these, if you raise or lowwr the ISO (+/-1) it shows the shutter speed to be DROPPED when more light enters (+). vice versa ( - ) when lowering, it shoots faster.
From my experience shouldn't it be opposite? Faster shutter speed for bright areas, and slower for less exposed? Seems when you adjust the ISO compensation on here, up shows a slower shutter, and down shows a faster. Seems backwards and confuses me.
My first SLR also. carried it all over Europe in the early 80 when i was stationed there. I still prefer olympus OM1 2 and 10 as favorites.
If I want manual everything, then I shoot medium format or bigger. If I want semi/automatic, I will shoot 35mm. Aperture priority is my favorite. Point and shoot with some DOF is great.
how long does the LR44 battery usually last with normal usage?
Hey, been doing my research on film cameras. I just got into taking film and wanna take a slight step up from my point and shoot. Just so i'm clear, can you still manually focus with this camera? I understand all the auto functions but wanted to double check you can choose what to focus on? Cheers
Yes, it is manual focus only. In the centre of the view finder there is a split image area. You turn the focus wheel on the lens until the edges of the split image line up perfectly. You are then in focus and check the metering also in the view finder. You can change the lens f stop and see what shutter speed you can get. Say 125th of a second for handheld should get a nice sharp photo. Aperture priority works great for static shots. I have a manual adapter plugged into mine so can also do shutter priority.
I believe if you really want manual shutter speed setting you can just adjust the film ISO dial so that the lightmeter selects the speed you want to shoot at. It is certainly less convenient but it is possible.
got both om1 om10 even a winder and everyswapable great a second body
When I load this camera I just put it in bulb mode. Press the shutter and release as if I'm taking a picture that uses a higher shutter speed. Once once the counter is at the start I put it back into auto mode.
Can you link the batteries needed for this plz mine just died
Select “manual adaptor” and the shutter will fire at 1/60th even without a manual adaptor fitted.
My Pentax Super A is hardwired to shoot the first 2 frames at 1/1000 regardless of what the light meter says. It bugs the hell out of me because I load my film in the dark and it makes the first 2 shots useless.
💚
Had this camera for over 30 years. I got it in the rarer all black body.
Was the fuji superia 200 expired?
Bout 1 second handout the windonon the film seems to b suck dont want to try and fors it as have on idea about this camera
Eny tips please
This was my first camera 👍👍👍
I have an Olimpus OM 10 camera. The battery is getting hot and it doesn't last at all. Do you know why this is happening? Thank you
That’s a bad sign I’m afraid, try cleaning the contacts with isopropyl alcohol and be sure not to leave batteries inside the camera whilst the fault persists
@@JonathanNotley thank
What film did you use? and where do you purchase your films
Sarahi Mejia this was superia 200 but I usually use Portra 400. I buy it whenever I find a good price, usually process supplies in London
so we can’t add a flash unless we have the adapter?
Without the adapter you can fire at 1/60 by selecting manual mode
Watching this video i realize i changed film on my parents 0m-1 as a kid back in the 90s.
I have an OM 20
Volume is way to low or is it just me?
Me too.
sorry guys, I edited with headphones on and I think they were turned up to max
I can get one used for £85 rn is that worth it or is there better priced ones?
If it’s in a nice condition I’d go for it, that’s about what I paid for mine
@@JonathanNotley would you recommend better cameras at that price or is this the one to go for cheers for the reply btw I’m a beginner this will be my first camera
You need to judge condition etc. check my video on buying film cameras I think I go through the checklist.
The om10 is great and should last a long time if you look after it
@@JonathanNotley checked ur vid I’m scrolling through eBay throughly haha
@@JonathanNotley got it I’ve taken two pictures on it with my film is it ok to turn my camera off and leave my film in the camera ?
please what's the film again?
PATRICK JOSEPH TOBIN Superia 200
@@JonathanNotley thanks dude
Great video of a great camera. One thing to point out however: you mention in the video that it is an all-electronic camera, so if you don't have a battery you cannot even advance the film - this is certainly not true, as the battery is only needed for the light meter to work (and the self-timer gimmicks), otherwise it can be operated as a fully mechanical camera. Cheers :)
I really like your video I learn a lot I want taking photos in vintage style but I dont have cam that like that can you give me some..plssss I really love taking photos I hope you see my comment..❤️❤️from Philippines
I just picked one up for $40 bucks
I have such a camera and want to sell it!
10:49 - Newsflash, this bit of the film is already exposed to light when loading the film.
Fail.
Sorry but I have this camera and I think its fucking vile to use.
I just bought this camera with 80-200mm lens f4.5 Sunagor and has an manual adapter on it from a charity from 🇬🇧 with 16£ only as a souvenir and when when I saw how much cost today:)))...but Im gonna keep it. Anyway I wanna buy some films and get this beast to a test:)). Nice video by the way, really helpful!
That's a great deal but I must admit I'm a bit skeptical about the lens it came with!
