One thing I noticed, he went through a lot of OM-1 camera bodies. I
don't think he ever bothered to fix them, he seemed of the opinion that
if they broke, they were done. I suspect a lot of them just plain and
simple wore out. He shot reams of film.
My dad coveted the Olympus...
I can understand that completely.
The OM- series were jewels, no question about it.
Especially the OM-1.
All you needed, no gewgaws, just precision looking and feeling parts and
totally capable.
I sort of wish I had kept the -1.
But, that's just nostalgia speaking. I recognize it well... <g>
Nostalgia picks at the edges of regret, doesn't it.
