| OK, I'll bite too. I've been lurking on the list for years. Learned an
| awful lot about single vs. multicoated SUV's, too. My dad's Explorer
| reflects green in the sun, so it must be MC.
|
| Steve Troy & Dan Troy
| Just Northeast of Philadelphia, PA
|
| My brother Dan is a pro, but I'm not. He specializes in commercial
| photography (MF and LF but some 35mm using OM's) but we use our OM stuff
to
| photograph railroads. These photos wind up in magazines and on calendars,
| such as the one hanging in John Hermanson's place right now (another one's
| on the way, John). Current railroad slide inventory is 30,000+ and
| growing. Thank goodness for Visual dBase.
|
| Here's our combined equipment - combined because at this point it's hard
to
| tell who owns what (lenses are Zuiko unless otherwise stated):
|
| 1 - OM-4Ti
| 8 - OM-4
| 1 - OM-3Ti (Thanks, Tom!)
| 1 - OM-3
| 1 - OM-2
| 1 - OM-1n (with Poloroid back)
| 1 - OM-1 (with Poloroid back)
| 1 - 16mm
| 1 - 18mm
| 2 - 21mm (a 2 and a 3.5)
| 2 - 24mm (a 2 and a 2.8)
| 2 - 28mm (a 2 and a 2.8)
| 2 - 35mm (both 2)
| 1 - 35mm shift
| 2 - 50mm (both 1.8)
| 1 - 50mm 3.5 macro
| 2 - 80mm macros (newer type) w/bellows
| 1 - 85mm
| 1 - Tamron 90mm macro 2.5
| 2 - 100mm (both 2.8)
| 2 - 135mm (both 2.8)
| 1 - 135mm macro
| 2 - Tamron 180mm 2.5's
| 2 - 200mm (both 4's)
| 1 - Tamron 300 2.8
| 1 - Tamron 350 5.6 mirror
| 1 - Tamron 400 4 (a great, great lens)
| 1 - Sigma 500 4.5
| plus all the flash stuff such as F280, T-32, T-28, T-10, BG2, etc.
|
| Thankfully this stuff is mostly OM. If it were N*kon, we'd never get it
| all through the airport.
|
| Believe it or not, every lens gets used except the 200 f/4's and the
Tamron
| mirror (the Tamron 180's are better suited for our needs than the 200's).
| And everything except the original OM-1 and its 50 1.8 was purchased used.
| My favorite was the camera store that sold us the OM-3 at a bargain price
| because he "knew" that the OM-4 was the current model, so he wanted to
| unload the "older" version. Who were we to argue? Or the mint T-10 with
| power head and ring-cross polarizer for $149 - the store owner looked it
up
| in the "used book" under T-10 and priced it not knowing the power head and
| ring-cross were separate items. Not quite a Doris, but not too bad.
|
| Oh yeah, Dan's wife also has an OM-2000 with a 50 1.8 on it.
|
| I also have the worst-looking OM-2s that you'll ever see. Appears to have
| been drug through the Mojave desert at high speed and then thrown into
Lake
| Erie. Someone gave it to me this way - so don't blame me. No focusing
| screen, no battery/winder caps - but the battery check light works!
| Appears electronically dead otherwise. Anyone who wants it for parts can
| have it for the shipping cost.
