The OM-10 hit the markets in June 1979 at the same time as the OM-2N. The camera is a 35mm focal-plane shutter aperture priority AE SLR camera with an electronic shutter. Only aperture priority AE was available with the camera unless the optional manual exposure adapter was installed which allowed the setting of shutters speeds between 1 second and 1/1000 of a second (bulb mode is also available on the camera). The camera is equipped with a fixed pentaprism viewfinder which contains an LED exposure indicator. The finder coverage was measured to be 93%.

Exposure control is based on aperture priority AE or center-weighted light metering. Film speeds of the camera range from ASA 25 to ASA 1600. Film winding is done by using the film wind lever located on the top right of the camera. Film rewinding is done manually using the film rewind crank located above the film canister on the top left of the camera. The camera body measures 136 × 83 × 50 mm and weighs approximately 430 grams (15 oz).

The Halina 35x was produced circa 1959 in Hong Kong by W. Haking Camera. It is a manual focus camera with an uncoupled viewfinder. It focuses from 3 feet to infinity. There is a shoe for an accessory rangefinder. It has shutter speeds of B 25 50 100 200. It has a Helina Anastigmat 45mm 1:3.5 ( to f16 ) lens. There is a tripod mount on the bottom and the back is removed to load film. It takes standard 35mm film. It's a nice solidly build heavy camera.

The Rajar No. 6 folding camera was made by the British camera makers' group APM. Rajar Ltd. was part of that company. The No. 6 refers to Rajar's own film size. This camera was the first strut folder with all three main outer parts, the body, the back and the lens standard, made of bakelite. The camera was introduced in 1929. Beyond that fact it was a quite basic camera model, with meniscus lens behind an everset shutter that offers instant and time mode, film advance by key with help by a red exposure counter window in the back, and a reflecting type viewfinder. The finder as it is mounted above the lens opening behind a hole in the lens standard can be used for vertical exposures. For horizontal exposures the lever on which the finder is mounted can be swung out so that the finder is turned 90 degrees and positioned over the standard. The shutter release lever is placed below the lens standard. The camera was a strut folder with cross-swing struts. It made 8 6×9cm exposures on special Rajar film rolls for the square film drive of the camera
