Good guess.
But the camera in question has a set of interchangeable lenses designed for it. And I'm talking about quite a few lenses, not just the triad-focal-length selection like Kodak Retina (Reflex) or Olympus Ace.
Hint #3: A rare adapter would allow some M42 lenses to be used on this camera.

Does anyone use the Recordata backs on their OM's?
I have a mint Recordata 3 that just makes no sense since I never would want to use it.
Does it have any market value? Or should I just toss it in the dumpster?

Wow that one is wild, leaf-shutter SLR.
But it's bigger than an OM.
Alright I've strung you guys along long enough:
The answer is:
Mamiya NC1000.
And I'm just fascinated with it.

Bought another OM-PC, The first one arrived with seized film advance. I'm hoping this one works. I want to try rhe ESP metering with slides since I terribly over exposed two rolls of Ektachrome on my OM1.

I just shot my sister's wedding with an OM-4T w/ OMZ 35/2 and OM-2 w/ OMZ 85/2, and several rolls of Tri-X. I'll try to post some photos here in the next couple of days. She had two pro photogs working the wedding (one was a friend just trying to build his portfolio), so I figured I'd do something different and shoot b+w film. Sure enough, they had huge Nikon and Canon DSLRs with fancy strobist setups, firing off hundreds of shots at a time. It was fun being the weirdo with the film camera, though the minister recognized it immediately as an OM, and said he still had his old OM-10
I'm excited to see my results (I think I got at least a couple keepers).

some picks from my latest roll from the om-1n, zuiko 50/1.8, arista premium 400 (tri-x), hc-110 dilution h (1+63); 72.5F, 10 minutes and 20 seconds, gentle agitation, mix of sunny metering and weston master 5 incident readings:
i really, really like the negatives i am getting with the hc-110; seems to suit my subjects, the zuiko lenses and the sometimes tortuous light that i like.

I recently picked up a Komine made Vivitar 135/2.8 lens in pristine condition and mounted it to my OM-1. Very impressed with this lens so far...

Dug out some old slides (Echtachrome). The colors have faded and difficult to correct, but I still like them. Hope to get a 100mm or 135mm Zuiko in the next week. Until then....

Great pictures in the last few posts.
I must admit, I am guilty of pulling the trigger again.
Having sold my chrome OM-1 some years back, I have recently been lusting for a chrome OM body. Seeing a good offer, I have now bought a chrome OM-2 to accompany my black OM-1 and OM-4 Ti.
It's my first OM-2, so I am really curious to see how well it fares esp. compared to my beloved OM-4 Ti!

I wouldn't call myself a Zuikoholic...yet. After all the raves I recently got a clean OM-1 body with non-functioning meter and 50mm f1.8 for super cheap. Test roll will be developed tonight. For a compact SLR I also like my Nikon FG with series E 50mm f1.8, here are a few photos to compare their sizes.

The best camera is one that still works!
That Nikon certainly makes the Olympus look good!
