Default OM-1 Camera documentation

Hi, just bought a used OM-1 camera body on Astromart. It came with no
documentation. Anyone know of a source? Thanks

I'm pretty sure Olympus will send you a manual if you ask them. They may
also have it available for download. www.olympusamerica.com

There were also, in the 70s, several books about the OM-1 and OM series.

It's worth your time to learn to use Google Advanced Search -- it's
waaay cool! Try this:
http://www.google.com/search?as_q=ma...n&ie=ISO-8859-
1&newwindow=1&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=olympus+ om-1&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=&a
s_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_occt=any&as_dt=i &as_sitesearch=&safe=i
mages. It led me to this in no time at all:
http://www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~rwesson/e...manuals/om-1.p
df (fair quality) and this
http://www.xs4all.nl/~wiskerke/html/olylinks.html and a ton of other
links.

It's a scan of the original paper manual, but entirely
usable.
