[OM] Graduation from being an equipment to a phptography freak.

[sunil manga]

Dear OLYITES!!
here starts a NEW line of confession, whether one is in the EQUIPMENT
Buying & Experimenting Phase or has settled down with his seriously
thought and tried set of cameras and lenses to take some pictures.

Well! I started my photography with a LEICA M-3 & 50/1.4
summilux,
~ used for 2 years and jumped onto a NiKON F2 Photomic + 50/1.2 +43~86
zoom+ 35/2.8+24/2.8+300/4+70~210zoom+ favourite 105/2.5.
Another F2 +MD3 & yet another LEICA M-4 with 35/50 & 90mm
lenses.
At this stage, decided, that NIKON and GOSSEN metering was dumb and the
end results horrible or poor. Also benchmarked various
CANON/MINOLTA/PENTAX SLR and 2 1/4 ROLLEFLEX TLR/PENTAX 6x7.
Experimented with an OM-2 and got hooked on the results. Tremendous
sharpness and contrast with SPOT-ON exposures. What a CAMERA!!
Again came the equipment phase, a
35/2+135/2.8+100/2.8+35~70/3.6+65~200/4+180/2.8+24/2.8+21/3.5
+18/3.5+50/1.2+50/3.5 macro+35/2.8 shift+24/3.5 shift+35~105 zoom
+various accessories.
NOW since 1989 settled down on an OM-4T +18/3.5+35/2.8 shift+50/3.5 macro
+100/2.8. With this package I am getting tremendous results and do not
want to ride the equipment race again.
My speciality is INDUSTRIAL and my personal is LANDSCAPE
Photography.
My request to all the list users, try some intro-spection, 'are YOU an
EQUIPMENT or a PHOTOGRAPHIC FREAK?'
What comes FIRST, the PICTURE or the CAMERA body?
Your replies will be appreciated. 
Sunil Manga.
