Originally posted by grux how exciting getting something brand new yet very old! i had that experience last year when i bought a brand new in box olympus 35 RC never opened. the camera was still sealed in a plastic bag with the original mercury battery (corroded).
That's the way this one shows in the pic on the bay. Camera, lens, field case, even the user manual all still wrapped in plastic.
Thanks for the encouraging comments everyone. I already have a Super Program, or rather my wife does. Since she's not a "photographer" as such but does like to take pictures, the Super Program is set on Auto for her along with the lens set on A. That way all she has to do is focus and shoot. When I said hope I don't regret it, I was talking about hoping the camera wasn't one that had been taken out, used and then put back in the box.
I had a Program Plus also until the electronics went for a walk one day and never came back.
