OM System Pro Advantage

OM System Pro Advantage is a great option for repairing your OM System quickly and efficiently. So far I’ve not had any issues that weren’t self-induced with my OM cameras or lenses. But I did get a chance to test the OM Pro Advantage after breaking the LCD a while back.

Prior Nikon Professional Services Member

I was an NPS member for many years—the Nikon equivalent of OM System Pro Advantage. But back then, you had to prove you were a working professional. And that was not easy. They made it hard to become an NPS member. But as more and more people have been buying expensive gear, not just the pros, all the camera companies now offer superior service, but admittedly with an extra cost. The yearly fee is a basic minimum to cover their services. As many of you know, I’m currently shooting the OM-1, and to date, I’ve shot just short of 250,000 images with no issues with any of these cameras other than me breaking the LCD. Even so, I love the feeling of insurance with this top-flight program by OM System.

Conclusion

The OM System Pro Advantage program offers a comforting peace of mind since S$#T happens. This post was inspired by one of our NE Explorers needing some help. Some of the Gorilla Glue he used to fasten an external Shutter button add-on ran down into the shutter release electronics. Ouch!!!! I’m guessing this will be an expensive repair. But he’ll have the benefits of the OM System Pro Advantage to get it taken care of. You can get to the OM System Pro Advantage website by clicking this link.
