Daughter Kirsten is a professional interior designer working for a large
firm of architects and engineers in downtown San Francisco. In her mid
thirties she has had reasonable photographic experience with a Mamiya 35mm
SLR and several P&S cameras. From memory she also did some B/W processing in
the high school darkroom here in Sydney and also during her university time.
When she expressed a desire to become more involved with photography again a
colleague in her office gave her the OM-10 with the remark that it works
fine but 'let in light'. My guess is that the camera is still OK except that
the seals have gone.
