Help - Olympus OM2 users

[Ricardo Miranda]

I am currently looking for a scrap OM2sp to take apart and see how viable a on/off switch would be .

They sometimes appear on Ebay UK as for parts.
If you know street market sellers, ask around.
One might have a scrappy one.

Have a good read!

Thanks Ricardo for finding the link for me its just that I don't fancy opening up my perfectly good working camera just to find out . It looks very tight for space inside.

OK - finally got around to getting another battery and everything seems to work fine. I haven't used a 35 mm film camera for serious work in probably 40 years. This is going to be interesting. Working camera, 5 lenses, tons of filters and accessories. Now all I need to do it get some film and a developing tank. Any of you have an extra 35mm tank laying around you want to get rid of?

Thanks for all the great advice and help.

Why not buy a new one?
A Paterson Universal tank for 2x 135 rolls is only £25.
And you get a lovely panflet from Ilford.
For film choose Adox, Foma, Ilford or Rollei and you won't go wrong.

Free ones are cheaper, few outings ago I got a NOS 75mm enlarger lens in storage plastic tub only missing card box - as a gift.

Lots of the darkroom kit goes to council recycling centres.

Yeap, free is better.
