Hello everybody!
I'm new to this mailing list, just subscribed today, and I must say I'm
pretty scared off by all this flood of e-mails coming in. I was warned this
Online Community would be very active, but I would never had expected it to
be this active!!!
My father gave me my Olympus OM-2 back in Romania when I was 15 (that's
4 years ago), together with a 1.4/50mm lens and a manual. It seems it was
bought in the Canary Islands, I don't exactly know when, and throughout its
*pre-me* life I heard it even went to Nepal.
It took a while for me to buy the first film and take pictures with the
camera. Even now I can't say I shot a lot (maybe also due to some budget
problems :). Nonetheless I studied the OM-2 thoroughly, I can tell it still
works perfectly, I read everything I could find on the OM-system and on
photography in general.
So, yes, it got me, I'm totally in love with the camera. Recently I got
to use a Nikon F90X, which I totally disagreed with, because, in spite of it
being "high-tech", somehow managed to produce worse results than the old
OM-2. In fact, I compared the pictures, and those of the Olympus camera were
of a much greater quality than the F90X. Don't ask me why!!!
This autumn I moved to Berlin, to study here, and I got to look around a
little in the shops.
Please congratulate me on my latest aquisition, a Zuiko 3,5/28mm lens,
which I bought in a local store at a pretty good price. It cost 97 DM
(that's about 40$??-less, I think- please correct me if I'm wrong) - that
was about half the price I saw in other stores, and I'm happy to have found
it, especially because it's almost new! [It seemed to me the store owner
was trying to get rid of it, cause he had no clients :) ]
I know it's not the best wideangle there is, but the others I just
couldn't afford, I'm just a poor student after all :) !!!
That's about it.
I'll be coming back soon with a question.
