Olympus service then

I was sad to read of the demise of the Olympus camera division in Nigel Atherton’s very interesting article in AP 11 July. As a camera enthusiast I have used many of the top brands over the years, starting with their superb OM-1 and OM-2. I remember›how small and light they were to handle, and how solidly built, with very sharp Zuiko lenses.

I’ve never forgotten their superb after-sales service. On one occasion I had some black coating fleck that became dislodged in a prime lens. When I called them they said if I brought it to its London service base they’d look at it straight away. True to their word
