AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Olympus S (Electro Set) 35mm coupled-rangefinder camera with fast fixed G.Zuiko 42mm f/1.8 lens and built-in selenium meter. Clean example; shutter and rangefinder work well.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Olympus S (Electro Set) is a fixed-lens 35mm coupled-rangefinder camera released by Olympus in 1962. It carries a fast G.Zuiko 42mm f/1.8 lens — a seven-element design — together with a built-in selenium light meter for automatic and assisted exposure, a leaf shutter and a bright coupled rangefinder for precise focusing. As one of Olympus early metered rangefinders, it appeals to collectors and film photographers who value the build quality of Japans 1960s optical industry and the character of the fast Zuiko lens.
Condition: Used — Excellent
Pre-owned, in good clean condition with only minor marks. Working, with the one metering note below.
Serial Number
Please check the photo.
Appearance
Clean overall with few marks for its age. Please check the photos for details.
Optical Condition
Lens / Sensor: Clear, no issues
Functional
The shutter fires and the camera operates correctly; the coupled rangefinder is clear for focusing.
The built-in selenium meter is alive and the needle responds to light, but its reading is slightly off from perfectly accurate; a handheld meter or phone app is recommended for critical exposure.
