Oh well, I shall !! Actually, as Rick has figured out, I
was taking the P ...
Without loading batteries in it I figure it will
work well. I remembered the unsticking routine.
I already have a supply
of SR 77's or whatever the correct silver oxide batteries are.
The
whole set is in pretty nice condition; it deserves being used. And to
cap it off, I won an OM3 in the Californian Bay.
One came up being sold
by a Vietnam Vet who says he plays in the Bay to have some diversion
from his spouse. The photos were lousy, so I looked hard, and read his
words.
He had it listed at a really nice (for me) price, so I bid on it.
And persuaded him that even though he didn't want to post outside the
USA, he would, since I asked.
I pulled out of the bidding when it went
above the level I had set myself.
To my amazement, some days after the
sale had gone to someone else, I received a "second chance" notification
from the Bay.
The winning bidder had failed to go through with the sale,
so the seller offered it to me at the opening value, presumably because
I was the opening bidder - or something like that.
OM3i's are too
expensive even now, and as far as I remember the main difference between
the 3 and the 3i is that the 3 just eat batteries too fast.
So I'll just
take them out when not in use !!
"I must use film again" Brian
And to
respond to Wayne's question, Yes I still have the Obsession 6x17 and
have been seriously thinking about putting film through it again.
I do
have a good light meter for which I obtained the kit that enables me to
get the correct reading in the absence of mercury batteries.
Sad news
about the passing it its creator. I did know about 3 years ago that he
had some serious ailment like or = cancer.
