Good idea Steve

Good to see this it all seemed a whole lot simpler back then. most today would not be even aware of this gear. glad you like it Nick still wounder should I run a film through it.

A good image of the old gear, Steve.

A whole lot lighter than the gear these day. Been a while since this saw the light of day. you keep safe.

Can't beat real photo equipment Steve. Nice collection -nice still-life. Well done.

Herb

still like the older gear a whole lot simpler but certainly not as versatile as a modern camera. you keep safe.

The OM2 was our favorite camera. We have a little collection, all the past cameras from our family



We used to develop b/w pictures in our own dark room

I use to help my father in the dark room and watch with great interest the white paper turn into a photo. I have two cameras in my old bag but my fav is the OM-2 great camera taught me such a lot. Nice to see the older gear looked after Can pick out the OM-2 in the lot.

... pure nostalgia ... I have a couple of shoeboxes for of the little cylinders that 35mm film used to come in, maybe even some cans made out of aluminum with screw-off lids ... also, I remember agonizing over how to "spend" the 24 or 36 exposures on those rolls ...

That was always the problem did I use the exposures correctly to get my moneys worth not like taking 20 shots on digital to get "the one". I still have some rolls left but cant see the use of using the but far better to keep them for what they are these days, souvenirs. still a camera that taught me so much.

Film is making a comeback, that is a sort after camera, get a lens adaptor and try the lens on your digital camera, I have just bought a Zuiko 28mm f2.8 to use on my Olympus micro 4/3 camera although it will effectively double the focal length ( I haven't used it waiting for the adaptor ) the images may not be as 'perfect' as a modern computer designed lens but they have character you don't get from a modern lens, using an adapter or course avoids the cost of film. If you are interested in old cameras and lenses look on YouTube for Zenography

It would be good to get this gear out and run it , this and my OM1 taught me a lot. in total i have 6 lens 3 primes and three zooms. I will check out the youtube.
