  • OM-1 repairs in UK

    Has anyone had an OM-1 or other OM camera repaired in the UK? The plastic frame around the viewfinder on my OM-1 has cracked (traumatic injury) and needs replacing. Camera is working fine.

    The eye pads are available;

    Genuine OM System eyecup for use with the OM System EOM-1 digital cameras. Helps to prevent stray light entering the viewfinder, particularly useful when doing long exposure shots.


    If it is the plastic frame that this clips to then it back to Portugal as OM system stopped suppling companies like Luton Cameras with spare parts. I damaged this on an old Em-1.............

      Hi Gary, it is the frame, if it had been metal it would have been fine!! Didn't get much of a knock, just caught the corner.

        Sounds like a hot glue temporary repair needed until after your trip.

      Might be worth giving a.j.johnson in Glasgow a bell ,, they handle o.m.s repairs for h.dew and panamoz and last time I spoke to them ,( not long ago) they had no problem obtaining spares

            OM don't supply them with parts any longer! An email from them said "On January 1, 2021 the Imaging Division of Olympus Corporation (cameras, audio recorders and binoculars) split to form its own Corporation: OM Digital Solutions Corporation. OM Digital Solutions Corporation have decided not to supply parts."

          Just tried the camera again this morning and all seems fine, as Gary commented a drop of glue maybe all that is needed.
