Hi,
I would just like to introduce myself and share a little story that some of you
may find amusing.
I learned the basics of photography with my Dad's old OM1 about 20 years ago,
and although I always took pictures every now and again, after an initial
enthusiasm I didn't really get keen until two or three years ago. At that
point I got myself a Ricoh GR1v, and the results from this and the XA I started
to take everywhere began to rekindle my interest.
Eventually I found myself with a bathroom darkroom, a Bessa R rangefinder and a
few lenses and whole bunch of other interesting but mainly cheap old
rangefinders and even a C220 and a Rolleicord. I had a lot of fun with all
this stuff. I also steadily aquired more OM bits and pieces as my Dad and
various friends of his got used to their EOS stuff, but for some reason I never
really used any of it. I guess it just wasn't as "cool"...
Anyway, eventually my darkroom experiences led me to think it would be nice to
have a spot-meter and after a bit of looking around ended up thinking that it
made sense to get one that came wrapped in an OM4-T rather than any of the
alternatives.
I did this a couple of weeks ago. I've put a few films through it now and
guess what? The results are simply miles better than anything I've managed so
far with any of my other kit...
So here I am where I should have been all along; I've learned my lesson at
last, and I'm going to stick around here for a bit and see what else I can pick
up!
Best to all,
Tom
