This independent auto winder is suitable for most Olympus OM manual focus 35mm film SLR cameras including classic models such as the OM-1MD, OM-2 and Spot/Program, OM-3 and OM-4 series, the OM10 to OM40 (but not the OM2000). It offers single shot or continuous winding, an automatic interval timer and a remote control socket. This one's in very good condition and comes boxed with instructions (copy), remote control and a set of Alkaline batteries. Please read the full description for more important information.
The winder provides automatic advance at up to 2 frames per second depending on the shutter speed, battery type and condition, with a choice of single shot or continuous winding modes. A winder is useful for fast moving subjects such as sports, children and even portraits where you want to take another picture quickly as the subject changes expression. It also means you don't need to take the camera away from your eye to wind on – especially useful for people who use their left eye for viewing.
The built-in interval timer can be set to automatically give delays of 5, 30 and 60 seconds or 5 minutes between shots, when used with the remote control unit supplied. This is great for time-lapse photography, where the camera can take pictures for up to three hours unattended with a 36 exposure film. There's a remote control socket for an electrical cable (a generic locking remote is included) with standard 2.5mm connection. This is Ideal for wildlife photography, where the camera can be concealed and released from afar.
An integral grip with electronic shutter release improves handling, especially with large and/or heavy lenses. Storage is provided for the winder cover from the camera's base plate, and there's a standard 1/4-inch socket for mounting on a tripod, monopod or other support, and for accessories such as flash brackets or grips. LEDs are provided to indicate power on and motor operation.
This OM-1TR Electronic Power Winder for Olympus adds only around 33mm (1.3") to the camera's height, and less than 240g (8.4oz) to the weight, without batteries. It's powered by 4x standard AA batteries and disposable alkaline (supplied) or rechargeable NiCd or NiMH types can all be used. This is an independent OM-1TR winder, more or less equivalent to the Olympus Winder 2, with the added timer feature that the Olympus doesn't have. The winder itself isn't branded, but this model was sold with the Jessops, Maxwell, Soligor and other names.
An essential winder outfit for many Olympus OM film users.
Condition: Excellent+++ (8.5/10)
The winder is in very good condition and fully working order (checked on our OM film camera). The controls operate positively, and all features work as expected. Cosmetically it shows just the usual signs of use with some surface scratches and scrapes here and there in the plastic finish. The battery contacts are clean and work fine. The Jessops box (originally for a different version) is showing signs of age but complete. The instructions are a copy (in English) but complete and very legible, while the remote control is in very good condition and has been tested.
No cracks, splits or deep scratches, and overall it's in nice shape.
Boxed with generic remote control, instructions (copy) and 4x Alkaline AA batteries.
