What is olympus om3?

The Olympus OM-3 is a 35mm film SLR camera that was introduced in 1984 as the successor to the OM-2. It was part of the famous Olympus OM System, a line of cameras and lenses that were known for their compact design and excellent optics.

The OM-3 introduced a new feature called multi-spot metering, which allowed the user to take measurements at up to eight different spots in the frame and calculate an average exposure value. This made it easier to get accurate exposures in tricky lighting situations.

Other notable features of the OM-3 include a high-precision shutter mechanism that is accurate up to 1/2000th of a second, a bright and clear viewfinder with a 97% field of view, and a rugged, weather-sealed body that could withstand heavy use in harsh conditions.

The OM-3 was also compatible with a wide range of interchangeable lenses that allowed users to customize their system to their specific needs. Today, the OM-3 is a highly sought-after camera by collectors and film photographers who appreciate its combination of advanced features and classic design.
