So I'm at my local camera shop, (just dropped off 6 rolls of film for
development)..
A guy comes into the shop, has an old N*kon, and starts going off on how
it's a horrible camera etc..
Well, being this is an OM list, we already knew that it was inferior ;-)
But that's not the only story..
So he commits a few sins that he blames on the camera:
#1) He found the cheapest developer he could find. He got prints, and
then reprints at another place. Both printed on cheap thin, tissue
paper like prints, with horrible inconsistent color.
#2) He took pics in Colorado, and HE LEFT THE FILM IN THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS.
Now I'm not from Colorado, and I don't know how hot it gets there, but I
wrecken' it gets mighty hot inside a car..
#3) He shot every shot, into the sun.
#4) Did I mention it was P&S camera that has a plastic lens??
#5) He bought consumer film that didn't even have an ISO printed on the
side; it just said "Max".
So, he complained how it MUST be the camera..
Inaccurate colors, uneven fading, no two prints look a like, flare like
there' s no tomorrow..
I am now man enough to blame myself before I blame the camera, why won't
most men??
OM Content; I see my OM takes much better pictures than a plastic
lens'ed N*kon P&S. Of course, it would be embarrassing if it didn't..
