Everything you need to know about OM-1 Shutter Life

The OM-1 is one of Sony's most reliable cameras. With an official rating of 400,000 shutter actuations, it is built to withstand rigorous daily use.

What happens when you exceed 400,000?

It's important to remember that this number is a rating, not a expiration date. Many OM-1 cameras continue to work perfectly at 300,000 or even 500,000 actuations. However, as you pass the rated limit, the risk of mechanical shutter failure increases.

💡 Pro Tip for Used Buyers

When buying a used OM-1, aim for a shutter count below 50% of its rated life (less than 200,000). This ensures you have plenty of room for your own shooting.
