Olympus OM-F / OM-30

The Olympus OM-F, also known as the OM-30, is a consumer-level, manual focus, 35mm SLR manufactured by Olympus in the mid-1980s.  The camera was part of the OM-10, 20, 30, 40 series of cameras, which were less expensive SLRs meant as alternative options to the OM-1, 2, 3, 4 series.  The OM-F is essentially an updated version of the OM-G (OM-20), that could be used with a special autofocus 35-70mm lens.  The camera was an early attempt by Olympus to get into the auto-focus market; unfortunately, the auto-focus is often inaccurate, slow, and dependent on that one, particular zoom lens.  The camera does use other manual focus Olympus lenses and has an electronic focus confirmation capability to aid in manual focus.  The OM-F can also be set up to pre-focus at a certain distance and fire when a subject comes into that plane of focus.  The camera's exposure modes include aperture-priority and full manual.
