Especially after working with a PC, handling vitual buttons and leavers
via mouse, waiting for the desired reaction, trying this and
that to get what I want, nobody really knows what is wrong, when
something is not working now, but maye later...
After day´s like this I really enjoy my OM 1 even more. Moving
REAL levers, touching the button and instant reaction.
This is what I like. And when the sutter is not firing, I know
it was me, I know I have to operate the film advance lever,
and everything is fine again.
And when the slides are back, I know it was me, ... ;-)
I see the advantes of using new technology. But the drawbacks
of digital told me the qualities of my "old" camera again.
