The Olympus OM-101 was a single lens reflex released in 1988 by Olympus, which takes Olympus OM lenses. It was called OM-88 on some markets.
After the unsuccessful autofocus SLR OM-707, the OM-101 was a simpler model aimed at the amateur market, which could take the autofocus lenses but only had an electric focusing command with no autofocus. There were even two lenses released without any focusing ring or autofocus capacity - only compatible with the OM-101 and labelled 'PF' for PowerFocus. These were the 50mm/F2 PF and 35-70mm/F3.5-4.5 PF.
The body only has a program exposure mode; no program shift or shutter speed information displayed at all. With manual focus OM lenses, the body operates in aperture priority auto exposure mode, again with no information displayed about the settings used. An accessory called Manual Adapter 2 could be added to have manual exposure and aperture priority with all the lenses.
