Got this little gem for 5 skr (less than 1$) at the same fleamarket as my Yashica Electro GX35. If you like fleamarkets and visit Helsingborg in Sweden, make sure you go to Framtid!
The camera is a fully automatic, zone focus 35 mm camera that operates without batteries. It doesnt look like its been handled with much care, its a little dented, but it works perfectly. Just estimate the distance, compose your image and press the shutter. If its too dark, you will get a red flag in the viewfinder and the camera will refuse to take the shot. No wonder that Olympus sold millions of those cameras between 1967 and 1984. Mine is from 1972 according to the datecode inside it.
Theres lots of information on the net about this camera, for example here, here and here. And of course there is a page on Camera-wiki.org about it.
Heres some more pictures of it and from it:
This is their homepage, look under “vägbeskrivning” to see where it is:
