OM-3
The Olympus OM-3 is considered to be the second rarest model in the Olympus OM line up. This camera was only in production for 3 years. It is a full manual camera like the OM-1, with an incredible metering system. Other differences from the OM-1 included an internally lit viewfinder, 1/2000 max shutter speed, an updated accurate shutter curtain timing system, built in hot shoe and the rewind button is on top of the camera rather than the face of the camera. This camera can be used with all shutter speeds with out the need for batteries.
Possibly the reason for low sales was because the tried and true OM-1 was also still in production and there was a consider price difference between the two.
