a C@n0n QLIII 17!
and selling off an OM1n chrome w/ 50/1.4mc body cap to fund it!
HERESY! STONE the infidel!
haha, just thoughts, but it has been growing on me for a few months, that two
OM1ns are sitting idle. why not sell the nicer one to get funds for a camera i
can carry with me all the time everywhere for
stealth street shots? I like candid natural light photography a LOT and that's
about all the kind of photos I take with our digicam. we're talking real slow
shutter speeds, so an RF would make blur and
focussing an easier issue. the black OM1n stays for serious use when i have a
plan or something in mind to photograph. compact RF for carry everywhere
madness.
i figure a VG om1n chrome with matching 50/1.4mc would get enough funds to get
a nice CLAed 1.5v conversion canonet.
not sure, but the way i'm leaning, it might happen before the end of the year.
the only thing stopping me right now is lack of access to a darkroom. once
that's figured out (might try start a camera club
on campus to get my foot into the dark dungeon!), i'm all set since i'm
primarily interested in TriX. (not a good idea to commandeer the kitchen sink
for dev just yet). that, and a filmscanner would do
nicely.
btw, just kidding about the old geezer joke; most of the list is about as old
as my parents <g> not that they're *that* old, mind <grin, duck, run>
or, if that siliconfilm thing pulls thru, well, that solve most the issues!
