I usually pick their name based on the the Cameras manufacturer or model type so my K1000 is called Kate and my Olympus OMs are Olympia and Ophelia. I wont bore you with a complete list but one of my Minoltas is called ‘Beauty’ as she was bought from an eBayer who said she was a beauty...beautiful condition blah blah. In fact she had a jammed focus ring, jammed aperture, fungus, broken focus screen and missing her aperture mirror. She was fully repaired and runs fine now. Anyway the name stuck as everytime partner asked what camera I was working on I would say ‘oh the beautiful one of course’
My latest acquistion is called Virginia as I doubt she was ever used, so minty I doubt she ever saw a roll of film. Total bargain on eBay just for once.
I've had cars like that... :P
I'm beginning to think I'm not the only closet Oly fan here. :P I really want one of the old OM lenses to play with on my e-m5ii...because... knurls are so..... knurly!
