About the Olympus M-1:

The Olympus M-1 is one of the most collectible cameras in the Olympus OM system.

As a result, the M-1 was only produced for a short period, making it extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors. The M-1 is mechanically identical to the early OM-1 but features the distinctive M-1 branding.
