Hi All!
This one is an unusual orphan by Olympus, the OM88.
It's unusual in that it is neither an autofocus, nor a manual focus, but used a system they called "Power Focus".
It has a thumbwheel used to focus the camera when using AF or PF lenses.
It could take OM, OM-AF, or OM-PF lenses. There was also a manual adapter switch made for it (not included with this one).
With the manual focus lenses, it was aperture priority only.
The look and feel of it remind me of a Dynax 3000i I used to own.
Cost was .99 cents with 5.50 USD shipping. I bought it for parts and have gotten everything working but the power focus.
