Description from the seller
Olympus OM-4 Black Body
Serial Number:
1118698
Thank you very much for viewing this classic Olympus OM camera.
Introduced in 1983, the Olympus OM-4 is an advanced 35mm SLR positioned near the top of the classic Olympus OM system.
One of its most distinctive features is its sophisticated multi-spot metering system, which can store and average multiple spot readings for precise exposure control in difficult lighting conditions. The camera supports both aperture-priority automatic exposure and manual exposure, while retaining the compact body size and direct handling for which the OM series is well known.
With its advanced metering system, compact design, and compatibility with Olympus OM lenses, the OM-4 remains an attractive camera both for practical film photography and for collectors of classic Olympus equipment.
■ Appearance
There are some minor signs of age and normal use, including light surface wear.
Considering its age, the black body remains clean overall and in attractive cosmetic condition.
Please check the photographs carefully for the detailed exterior condition.
■ Viewfinder / Optics
There is only fine dust visible inside the viewfinder.
Overall, the finder remains clear and provides good visibility for focusing and composition.
■ Functional
The camera is operating properly.
The main operating functions have been checked, and no functional problems were found during inspection.

Thank you very much for taking the time to view this Olympus OM-4.
The OM-4 represents one of the most advanced cameras of the classic Olympus OM era, combining the compact proportions of the system with sophisticated multi-spot exposure metering.
Its ability to work with multiple spot readings gives the photographer unusually detailed exposure control, while aperture-priority AE and manual exposure make it suitable for a wide range of shooting styles.
This example shows only moderate age-related wear and remains clean overall for a vintage camera. The viewfinder contains only fine dust and remains clear overall, and the camera is operating properly.
It is an attractive body both for photographers who want to build a classic Olympus OM film system and for collectors looking for an important model from the later development of the OM series.
