Hello all,
I appreciate your comments on my photos (the OM3 Ti body), your
discussions and opinions. BTW, the photos were taken by my friend's
antique digital camera! Which leads me to my next comment:
Yes, one doesn't need a fancy piece of camera to do better pictures and
certainly 1500 dollars seems like a lot (I can also buy myself 700
disposable cameras for that amount!).
But why not!!
And oh boy, what a camera is the OM3 Ti! A little marvel of mechanic
and design which feels better in the hand than any Leica R models.
Yes, why not if you have the chance!
I wonder: if any one of us Olympus lovers came across an OM3 Ti
displayed in a camera shop's window, wouldn't he come in and ask about
it.
Yea, we know it's a special piece (and now a collector's item, sadly)
that we could cherish, treasure and take very special photos with.
You may ask: why I am selling my beloved OM3 Ti? Well, I just sold my
beloved Subaru Impreza WRX (not so good to take pictures but convenient
to drive from one shooting site to the other) as well.
Some things just became more important than my camera and my car.
Sincerely,
Alexandre Lecarme
