    Looking at film cameras on ebay

    That's correct. Typing something like "vintage camera -Holga -Lomo" in the search box will bring up vintage cameras but EXCLUDE Holgas & Lomo's.

    Repairs for my OM-2n?

    Musicman, my bug's a '62, well spotted:D. I'm not in LTV VWOC, but am in a couple of smaller local clubs. I bought it in good condition as I'm not that good with welders etc, and am slowly turning it into a 60's rally car, hopefully at some point to do a bit of classic rallying, if money allows!!

    Repairs for my OM-2n?

    I have to say - Ed's generosity has left me quite humbled. I barely know what to say, except of course a massive 'thank you'.:love: What a brilliant thing to do. Such an act can turn someone's whole month around, when times are grim and everyone seems desperately out to get every penny out...

    Repairs for my OM-2n?

    Holy crap!!!:eek: Are you serious???:D I think if such an arrangement were to be made, slightly more than postage may wing its way to you - or a donation from me to a charity of your choice - or something.... PM on its way, still in some disbelief at my luck...!!!

    Repairs for my OM-2n?

    Forgive me, Talkphotography, for I have sinned - been away from this site for ages - moving house, having children, buying classic cars... My photography's taken a back seat lately...:( Anyway, I blew the dust off my trusty OM-2n, and ran a couple of films through it, before dropping it!!:'(...

    How good is the OM10?

    You made a mistake handling the camera the 1st time you used it and went off it straight away???:lol: Maybe you have big thumbs!:) I've had an OM10 for 20 years now and never done that. It's not a design fault. The OM10 is a cracking little camera, the lenses are excellent as has been said...

    Kodak Tech Pan

    I used to love this film...:love: About 15 yrs ago me and my dad were reading in a magazine a review of slow, low-grain films, and they were seeing how well each one stood up to Technical Pan. We both looked at each other and said at the same time "Well why don't we just use Technical Pan...

    Olympus Om lenses

    Here's a quick pic of my Olympus stuff... The pair of OM2n's are most in use here. As for lenses, I've never been in a situation where I wished I had a wider/longer lens, and I only have from the 28mm f2.8 up to the 65mm-200mm f4 zoom. I've always heard amazing things about the...

    Pinhole Photography

    Finally got my camera made, it took me ages to gradually buy the black tape, matches, scrounge an old film canister etc, as I remembered while I was out and about. My 5yr old has some ace stickers of cows and chickens I'm going to stick on my camera, it should ensure I'm taken seriously as a...

    Scanning 35mm slides (some kodachrome) & negatives

    I've no idea why Kodachromes should be any harder to scan than other fillums... There's no reason for that at all. Choose and buy your scanner but if I were you I'd not worry about Kodachromes being harder to scan, that sounds like nonsense to me.:)
