Olympus Mju-1 Analogue camera

The iconic Olympus µ [mju:]-1 (Mju I) compact camera is one of the most coveted analog point-and-shoot models in history, prized by photographers worldwide for its outstanding optics and minimalist, ergonomic design. The offered example bears serial number 7282143 and was manufactured by Olympus Tokyo Japan, assembled in Hong Kong from parts made in Japan (Assembled in Hong Kong, Parts Made in Japan), ensuring top-quality craftsmanship. The camera is fully technically functional. All mechanisms exhibit full responsiveness – when the distinctive front flap is opened, the lens extends smoothly and without resistance, signaling readiness for use. Automatic winding, shutter, and rewind film transport work flawlessly, providing reliability from the first to the last frame. Equipped with the legendary fixed-focal Olympus Lens 35mm f/3.5, the camera delivers excellent sharpness, beautiful analog micro-contrast, and image plastification. The lenses are clean, completely free of scratches, dust, mold, or dulling. The interior of the camera is exceptionally clean and well maintained – the film chamber, guide rollers, and pressure plate are free of contaminants, which is crucial for protecting the delicate negative from accidental scratching. The DX code reader contacts are in perfect condition, ensuring flawless ISO reading by the camera’s automation. Visually, the body is in very good condition and bears only minor, natural signs of use in the form of light scratches that do not affect handling comfort or the integrity of the housing. The precise Autofocus (AF) system and the built-in flash functioning in several modes make the camera ready for any challenge—from dynamic street photography to atmospheric documentary shots. I am including a CR123A lithium battery – it has been used and pictures have been taken with it, but it still allows immediate power-on and equipment check. The set also includes the original wrist strap. This is an excellent, proven specimen for a collector or a photographer seeking a reliable classic ready for immediate use. Delivery information: I do not ship to the USA or to countries involved in conflict in the Middle East. I ensure safe and bombproof packing of the shipment for transport.
