New Toy

[Brian Moore]

Just picked up an Olympus OM-2N (black body version) with 3 Zuiko lenses (28/3.5, 50/1.8, and 200/4 all with front and rear caps), a metal lens hood, a 2x tele converter (Vivitar), a power winder and flash with swivel head holder (all OM System), a pair of eye-pieces for the viewfinder, and numerous skylight filters to protect the lenses. The kit came in a rugged plastic Pelican brand case.

I put some batteries in the camera when I got home and the meter works. The body has some patina of use, but it's in very good condition. The glass on the three lenses and the tele-converter is immaculate and the lenses are like new, in general.

I'll probably never use the flash or the winder.

Looking forward to snapping some images and getting them developed later today.

I have an OM30 with a Zuiko 50 f1.8, nothing fancy but I do love getting out with it, like I say I must gt that film in and get out

 

[Hamish Gill]

Very nice! I've often wondered about zuiko lenses ... There have been a few shots posted on here over the years that have very nearly made me buy something! The om2 is def nice too!

I bought a new toy today too

I have absolutely no idea

 

[Kev Pugh]

I've not told her yet

Coward!

 

[Hamish Gill]

I told her I was going to ... And anyway, I've just given her a massive chunk of cash to spend on the wedding ... So I don't think she cares

 

[Hamish Gill]

I feel like I'm stealing a thread here ... Sorry Brian!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Good man and now back to the thread......Brian!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Nice with the Oly Brian!!
I have the OM10 which is not the top end model..... But good enough with a 1.4 chunk of glass on it,,,,

(Fair play with the M7 Hamish!!)

So is that an invite?

 

[Dan Cattermole]

So is that an invite?

Good point Kev........

 

[Hamish Gill]

Haha, yeah... I am inviting her... I thought it for the best!

We are only having about 30 people to the ceremony, but you are welcome to come to the evening ... I'll let you know when we have the date confirmed if you like?
