New camera!

krashkart · 04-18-10, 09:43 PM

Oh dude, post a few up snaps up in the Photography thread. I don't know cameras from my own hindquarters, but that's a real find. Awesome!

I once found an old 8mm home movie camera at an estate sale but was too broke to purchase it. They even had a rig for cutting the film.

Quality kit you've got there

......IIRC the OM-1 was the manual version to the OM-2 which was fully automatic.

I still have my Olympus OM-10 which was fully automatic but by fitting a small attachment (£25 cost at the time) it was immediately converted to a OM-1/OM-2 allowing you to switch from one version to the other at the turn of a dial (the best of both worlds).

I've got the usual 28mm wide angle, 50mm standard issue, 300mm telephoto but my favourit all rounder is my 28-115mm.

Take care of it....very nice

I plan to take care of it.

krashKart: I would love to post pictures when I start taking them, but how do I get pictures from the film on to my laptop?

A good scanner should do the trick. All of my old navy pictures, including my avatar, were scanned in by me, so I know it works with a desktop. A laptop shouldn't be any different.

ivank · 04-19-10, 03:48 PM

my scanner only brings up half of anything I scan

Check your scanner settings....ensure it is set to automatic.

You might also want to set it to scan, leave the lid open (but don't look directly at the scanning heads light) and ensure it is travelling the length of the scanning bed.

It may have developed a fault.

Olympus makes excellent cameras. I still have my OM-10 as well with pretty much the same set up. It's been all over the world with me.

I've made the jump to digital about 5 years ago, so now my OM-10 is stored away in an old camera bag.
A couple of years ago I bought a digital Olympus E-500. Haven't had any regrets about that.

It's amazing how SLR camera bodies alone were $600 or more back in the eighties when I got my OM-10, and that was without any lenses. Now days you see good film SLR's with at least one lens for $200 or so.
My, how the digital camera age as changed things. My kids won't even know what film is.

Rr that....I just went to my camera bag and turned the battery test on and the bugga was still buzzing....after all these years

I went to CVS and got 3 rolls developed, so after 19:00ET I will post my 1st pictures!

SteamWake · 07-01-10, 03:24 PM

LOL I was all ready to jump Ivan for spending money on a new camera when he was complaining about his debt

Nice find... maybe you can sell it and relieve some of that debt there

Rhodes · 07-01-10, 04:09 PM
