Chronology of cameras Olympus

Traduction de Eric Carlhan

All is in the VSOE meaning "Voll Service Olympus Europe". According to Olympus experts called in on the forum this plate was applied to the OM-1 converted to OM-1M by the European service.

This camera has no mark showing use with a winder. I don't see why the owner would have sent him to request a change which he had no use.

So, I tend to think that to simplify supply on the European market the OM-1 non-motorized already arrived on the continent have been an "upgrade" global.
