One of the rarest Japanese cameras ever made, in original black paint finish, demo camera with 'SAMPLE' engraved on the back, introduced in 1972, the M-1 was meant to be a part of a 'M-System', Leica quickly protested against the name of the system and Olympus decided to change the name to 'OM-System', the camera offered is in beautiful, mint condition, with matching very rare M-System F.Zuiko Auto-S 1.8/50mm no.110731 (front lens cap) with ever-ready leather case, only a few of these cameras are known to exist!
