The Olympus OM-10 (1979) is the consumer-tier OM-system body. **Aperture-priority autoexposure only** in standard form — for manual mode, you need the **Manual Adapter 2** (a small plug-in module that sits in the body's accessory port). This is bizarre but true: Olympus literally split manual control off as an optional accessory. Polycarbonate body — much lighter than the OM-1 / OM-2 (430 g). TTL CdS meter, full OM lens compatibility.

Released 1979 as Olympus's response to consumer demand for cheaper OM bodies. Production ran 8 years. Variants:
For 2026 buyers, the OM-10 is the cheapest entry into the OM lens system. Used at $40–130. Pair with a 50/1.8 Zuiko ($30) for a complete kit under $100. The Manual Adapter 2 is small and inexpensive ($30–50) and adds full manual mode.
The trade-off: aperture-priority only in standard form is limiting for learning photography; the meter is voltage-sensitive (silver-oxide SR44 is fine but verify accuracy); the polycarbonate body feels lighter than the OM-1/2.
OM Zuiko full compatibility. Manual Adapter 2 for manual exposure. T-series flashes (T20, T32). OM Winder 2.
