NO LAUGHING!!!! Please
These were my first 2 digital cameras, The HP was bought in 2001 and a 2mg I think it was 200 dollars, the Oly was bought when it came out in 05 I think for 500 dollars. My first camera was in 71 it was a Petri 35mm but I don't have a photo of it anymore.

I actually have three of these, but no sense in photographing all three.

and yes, thats cheap fuji colour film. expired as well.

Do you have one of the 7s with the f1.8 lens? What is the RF on that 7s in the photo?

FL_Gulfer, my friend had that same Olympus, and I'll say that I was fairly impressed by it! Not very user-friendly (at least to me), but the IQ of that camera blew my then camera (much newer Fuji S700) out of the water!

Would love to know if anyone else here is a Leica user.

all three of my 7s' have the 1.8 lens. are you talking about the cold-shoe mounted viewfinder? that is for the telephoto and wide-angle auxiliary lenses.

I curious about the performance between the 1.8 and 2.8 lenses. Yes, the cold shoe mount finder is what I was asking about. Is it made be petri?

I couldn't tell you since I have never used a 2.8.

yes the finder came with the lenses that are pictured to the left of the camera. its a kit manufactured by Petri. and a rather common one at that. the performance of the aux. lenses isn't superb, but they work. the only downside is that using one kills the lightmeter, as they cover the "circle-eye" on the lens. so I have to use the sekonic.

Your picture really puts the OM-1 in perspective. That is one tiny camera! I always wanted one except that I have huge hands and found that I could not easily work the controls.

Thanks for sharing!

One of my dad's old cameras that I still shoot most of my film with (Shot with SD450):

Something I picked up for $5 at a thrift store with original case:

Another $5 with original case (shoots trimmed 120):

Bought this one for my last girlfriend, who shot one roll with it then hung it up. My new gf has a Spotmatic and uses all of the lenses we've got. Massive upgrade!

It's almost exactly the size of the Pentax ME, or rather, the other way around
