Great word on not going into debt. Photography’s great for being able to do a lot with a small amount of gear. Talent get people more work than gear.

Rob, I have Maginon 18-24mm/f4 on the OM-10 right now. It suited my “painted light” self-projects just fine. I purchased it about 8 years ago for dirt cheap.

I have shot through about 20 of 36 frames with Ilford 100 B/W. If anything comes out decent, I would be sure to post them.

Good light doesn’t have to be expensive light as noted with the pic of your Brownie.

After having my dad’s OM1 for years and not really using it, I gave it to my brother who already has some 20 plus film cameras to include Hasselblads
‘s and Leicas. That was 10 years ago.

A few weeks ago, a lady walked into my shop and gave me a mint condition OM1 with the 50 1.8, 70-200 Viivtar zoom, and a Canon 70-200 FD zoom. Sweet. Given I have a Zukio 50 MM 3.5 macro that is incredible, I am so ready to do still lifes and what not with it shooting Ekctar 100 or some of the chromes from Kodak and Fuji.

Chris – it will be nice to see some of your new stuff with your OM10. Do you have or recommend a decent wide angle for it? I would love to have a good 24 MM right now.

Well said Chris! I still have not spent ANY $ on a digital SLR! I now use my iPhone all the time, although it was never purchased to take pictures. I use it because its with me all the time. My digital camera is a cheep point and shoot Olympus and works fine.

Easy = Good.
