One must bring the proper kit to a camera show!
Batteries: You need AA batteries for flashes, OM-1 batteries (I once bought
an OM-1 that had been recalibrated for 625As, so maybe one might want to
bring two types of OM-1 batteries.) OM2-4 batteries. When you check out
equipment always peek in the battery compartment and look for corrosion, and
see what sort of battery is already in there.
Camera Bodies: An OM-2n or 4. If you want to buy any T series flashes, it is
nice to have a camera whith which to test them. If you have a 2n or above
you can test a flash is making the led in the viewfinder do the right thing.
Flash: I bring a T-20 flash so that I can test that the flash circuits on an
OM body seem to work correctly.
Cash: lots.
Backpack: To hold my stuff, and all the new loot that I buy.

Jim Christy
