Olympus OM-1 “NASA”

One of only five factory-modified Olympus OM-1 SLR film camera body prototypes, three of these were supplied to the Goddard Space Flight Centre for the Shuttle Missions. The all-black camera with special, non-out-gassing paint and lubricants. The leatherette is not installed and comes separately.

The camera is unused and has no focusing screen, as it was to be used in the mirror-locked mode.

With a letter of authenticity from the former owner and Olympus sales manager Mr. Terry L.Walpole.
