What Olympus OM gear have you bought recently

Smallcreep

A chrome OM-2n plus many bits and pieces, and a couple more lenses though I promised myself I wouldn't. Blame it on the male menopause. Now, just need to find somewhere handy to hide it all from significant other ...

Trouble is you can't buy a body without taking a lens or two with it. For some reason "body-only" sales are double the price of a whole kit.

I think it's the seller's mentality. Those selling a whole setup found in the closet versus those thinking they are the shrewd businessperson, piecing them out.

The last thing was a 1-4N focusing screen. Before that, a lens hood for my 21mm f2 Zuiko.

I just (4.4.2012) bought Zuiko 2x teleconverter. I'm going to try it with my Zuiko 600/6.5 lens. I know that 2x teleconverter is not designed to use with this lens but still I'll try. It fits very well and a first film is already shooted but not developed (Fujichrome).

I found an Olympus 1.4x converter recently.Works well with my Zuiko 180mm. Wish I could afford the 600mm on *bay

Hi
New to the forum/group.

Picked up an OM20, with 28mm miranda lens, 75-300mm miranda lens, original 50mm zuiko lens and 2x teleconverter. Also came with flash filters and 3 58mm topcon filters.
All for the grand total of...
£30

New to Group. Glad found it. My latest arrivals are a M-1 camera and a 50mm f1.8 FTL lens.

As new, in the box, OM-2n in black. Used it today and it is perfect. Think I'll sell my champagne OM-4t now.

Got another 50/1,4 Silver-Nose which will go perfect with my early chrome OM-1.

Instead of selling the OM-4T I ended up buying an OM-3.

Now I must sell some stuff. Spent too much money. But like the sick hoarder (ahem.... Collector) I am, I can't peel my fingers off of any.
 

Ron O

That I understand. I could not part with any of my OMs. Have an OM-3 but have not used it yet. Film still is fun.

The OM-3 arrived and I'm excited to give it a workout.

No matter what, I will always love the OM-1 best. It was my first camera.

Another OM2 spot program camera plus 50mm f1.8 (got 5 of these lenses now) for £34. I know these camera's have their issues but for some reason I quite like the idea.

A week ago I asquired a Zuiko 85/2.0 and 200/4 in exelent conditon.
Also Several focusing screens, a lens hood for my 50/1.4, a close-up lens, all new in boxes.
And a T32 flash with zoom adapter
As well as extenions rings and a couple of converters , one of them 3x(!) (not Olympus), and some filters.
The day after tomorrow I'll probably get another black OM-1 and a 24/2.8.
Got two OM-1's, a OM-4, seven different Zuiko lenses, motor drive and winder from earlier on, so then I don't need any more equipment and will be a very happy photograper...
 

Erland

Thanks Ron, I'm thrilled..
I have chosen to go back to film and the OM system for one simple reason, it's too perfect not to be used.
Now I can be dreaming of a OM-3 Ti! And a 350/2.8!

Good going there, PeteD !

The OM-40/PC, with its ESP matrix metering, gives perfect exposures for slides.

A frined recently gave an OM-10 with a 35mm and a 50mm lens. Everything looks brand new. I ran a roll of film through it and it came out fine. A very fine little camera with a large and bright viewfinder. I am not crazy about the shuteer-prererred mode and no manual mode but I can live with it. I love film cameras and film itself. I am currently having some prints made on canvas for a gallery exhibition. I have negstives from the 1960s and 1970s of Elvis, the Beatles, Sinatra, Lucille Ball -- and so on. Sure glad I have those fine film negatives to work off of.

Desertratt, there is a manual adapter for the OM10 that makes it full manual. If you look on Eprey, I'm sure you can spot one on a camera for sale.

I've just ordered a Zuiko 50-250mm Exc.++ from Ffordes. I have surprised myself because I am not a fan of zoom lenses but I need something to cover a multitude of situations quickly. I hope I'm not to be disappointed with the quality.
 

Allan Swindles

It's arrived and it looks to be near mint. Only just had a chance to shoot a dozen or so frames with it on a OM-2 body, unfortunately, the weather was very overcast and the lighting very flat, so not a fair test really, but I await the results with interest.:confused:

A Zuiko 21/3.5 a couple of months ago, a friend brought it to me from the UK (LCE doesn't ship to Finland). A beauty.
