Yes, you’re right, Jimi – I’ve kept old OM-1 and OM-2 bodies which I used in Kenya – they both have mould in them now, but the OM-1’s shutter is still working, and I just love listening to that hushed sound! Also I’ve kept a couple of the Zuikos I used in Kenya too – a 75-150 zoom, and a 50mm f1.4. I did a lot of Kenyan landscapes with a simply wonderful 28mm f3.5 Zuiko, but alas sold that long ago. The great things about the OM gear were (and still are!) their small size and lightness – I could carry a body and 3 lenses around without really feeling any weight or inconvenience. Adrian
Hey Jimi. Thanks for visiting my blog today and liking “Green Light”. I do hope you’ll visit again soon.
I look forward to viewing your work as well. Blessings, Robyn
Hi everyone, by writing this blog, I want to show you loads of analogue (and sometimes digital ;-) ) photographs.
I usually have at least one camera with me, at work, when I go to university or when I just visit friends. As you might guess I take photos whenever I see an interesting scene.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
Jimi
Good picture, Jimi, and – of course – love the camera >>> but I’ve just part exchanged a lot of my OM gear for a new Nikon >>> I’m a traitor!!! Adrian
Thank you, Adrian, I really appreciate your opinion on my photos. Your not a traitor, at least you kept some of your OM gear, didn’t you? 😉

Thank you.
What a brilliant, and fun, shot!
Thank you for your comment.
great great shot! big like. maybe i’ll take my om-2 out for a walk tomorrow.
Thanks a lot. Did you take your OM-2 for a walk?
you’re welcome. at least as much as better weather would have been this weekend 😉 so no i haven’t yet.
hi jimi,
the om-2 was my first camera, followed by the om3 and om 4….but then starts the digital age and i have to move to canon , shit !
