Photos would be great! :thumbs:
 
Well I tried to get a few shots off, before the rains opened up this evening.

Pictured are our OM1-n, OM10, OM40, OM101 and 35SP, my son uses my OM101 and regrettably I recently sold an OM707 with three lenses, but the camera was getting old and tired and I hadn't realised that you could use the 707 lenses on the 101!

Not in the picture is my XA, I tend to keep it in my van as a little picture shooter if I'm out and about, neither is the OM30 as a friend has borrowed that to play with!

Here are a few of our OM fit lenses.

There are a few missing as they are with the OM30 and I forgot to take the 50mm off the OM1n before taking the picture, DOH!

I also have modern Olympus 4/3 lenses and a Panasonic Leica Lumix D Vario Elmarit 14-50mm so for Olympus Kit we're pretty much all fixed up.

I use the old T32 Flash on my Panasonic DMC-L1 and it still works great. and looks so stylish compared to the newer modern flash guns.

The OM10 is my favourite camera of all the Olympus up there its the one I always go back too. It was given to me by my Father and remains very special to me.
 
I just love how neat and stylish it looks and the fact that it takes great images.

I've heard that the Zuiko 85mm f2 is a dangerous lens, so, if you send it to me I'll take care of that for you :naughty:
 
Blimey, I wish I had the 85mm f2. Its a wotsit to get hold of and supposed to be a cracker!
 
Buy it now of £175 _ best take good care of mine then! And to think I was offered £200 for an OM2n, 24, 50 f1.4, 35-70, 70-150 and the 85, two T32's, shoes, screens, TTL cables, period brochures, books, filters, etc, etc and the like.

Not a bad little collection there. That 85mm is a very sought after lens. I hope it's all still being used!
 
My F5 is my preferred film camera cos I have modern Nikon glass to go with it, 24-70 and 70-200 f2.8's, 70-300, 70mm Macro and 85mm f1.8 but reading this thread has made me think again! Once a month the local studio has a film night and some amazing equipment gets brought so next time it'll be the Oly kit!

The mint F5 was bought for £200 at a camera show. I was surprised by the price and the seller thought I didn't want it so to sweeten the deal threw in half a dozen rolls of film. Good day that! Amazing camera if a little heavy!
 
I have noticed how heavy these cameras seem to be. My OM2-sp is tiny but still hefty and the EOS 650 I have just got is an absolute monster, weighs almost as much as my gripped 40D!
 
Mine are mostly from junk shops or from family members, so the whole lot hasn't really cost much at all. The only one that cost real money was the OM4Ti, which I paid 100 quid for, even though it was a very well used model! still works like a dream though. Possibly my favorite camera of all time.
I've got a bunch of lenses too, but no photos of them. Each camera is pictured with its own lens though.

Yes that's fungus on the front element :(

I was amazed to find this one in a local charity shop - totally mint and with manuals!

I've got some non-slr Oly's too:

Oh, can't get them all on one post...

Doesn't actually affect the pictures - I guess it's lucky it's on the front element and not the back.
 
I find the zuiko lenses will stand up to one hell of a lot of punishment, personally and for their age are sharp every day of the week!
 
Decided to try out a 28mm f/2.8 Zuiko with an adapter on my Canon 5D, but the Oly bug bit me and decided to try out one of the film bodies too...

Managed to score an OM2n with 50mm f1.8 lens this morning for £45 delivered on the bay!

I understand the 100mm f/2.8 is a great portrait lens so am looking for one of these for a good price too. Pics to come one I have 'em :)
 
The 28 and 50 are both great lenses. I don't have the 100 but do have the 135, which is very nice. I really want the 85 but the cost is just crazy!
 
Here's my OM1n, owned from new, I've got the receipt somewhere!



I'd forgotten how small it was, here it is alongside one of my D1xs, looking through the viewfinder of the Olympus it is striking how much bigger the image is in comparison to the Nikon.
