OT: RE: quest for pictures

I have a couple of Olympus OM-1's that I use (vintage 1975, so they meet the
10-year rule). If the battery ever goes bad, the camera is still fully
functional (except no built-in light meter). I can always use the f:16 rule
in sunlight (exposure = f:16 at 1/[the ASA film speed]; e.g., f:16 _at_ 1/125
sec for ASA 100 film) or guess the exposure in other conditions.

I personnaly prefer old, mechanical cameras. I can understand them, I can
fix them (as you might have guessed by now, I like tinkering with _all_
types of machinery). Actually, I probably prefer fixing cameras to taking
photographs.

Electronically controlled film cammeras are just not eccentric enough to
be interesting :-)
