Subject: [OM] FS - a couple of gems and a gem in the rough
If you are like the Marines and are looking for a few good . . .
you may find something you like here.
Olympus OM 3 - now why would you want an OM 3? Oh, because it is really a
manual camera, and works even when the batteries don't. Same goes for when
the circuit has gone to circuit heaven, as is the case with this one. Not
a bad looking camera. A small ding on the corner of the top plate. A
little brassing on the film reminder. A classic. Actually it probably
looks better than 90% of the black bodied OMs is use today. You can use it
as a manual camera with an external light meter or the "Sunny 16" rule, but
do not even consider buying this one if you think you are going to be able
to send it to John and have him fix the circuit. It has been there and done
that and it isn't going to happen, unless you go digging around in the dump
where Olympus dumped all their spare parts or perhaps have a connection in
the secret Montana (or is that Wyoming) factory. This one only works in
manual mode, without any light metering. So boys and girls, that means the
mechanics work, the shutter works and you are going to have to figure out
you exposure with the use of an internal light meter, your intuitive
"knowing" about such things or guidance from the great photography gods.
Do you have a clear picture? The ain't no stinking meter and there ain't
gonna be no stinking meter. This bad boy is for real photographers. Cry
babies need not reply. $135 shipped anywhere in the USA. Slightly higher
overseas.
Tokina AT-X 80-200mm f2.8. Near mint, although some might advertise it as
"new" on eBay. It isn't, but it sure is nice. It has all the little parts
such as the front and rear caps, lens hood and tripod mount. Clean glass
and perfect mechanics. No oil on blades. Great on either your OMs or with
an adapter on your e-series cameras. I have the Tamron SP version and don't
need both.
Hard leather case comes with it. Exterior is perfect, however the bottom
and top interior foam got eaten up by age and need to be replaced. $175
shipped anywhere in USA. Slightly higher overseas.
Olympus Zuiko 28mm f2. Like new hard leather case, hood, front and rear
caps. The only distraction is one tiny (that means hard to see and if I
didn't tell you about, it might be missed) nick on the outside edge of the
filter ring.
Does not interfere with the filter attachment and it is black (doesn't go
through the paint). Glass and mechanics are like new. No brassing.
Essentially
doesn't look like it has ever been mounted on a camera (although it has.)
A
beautiful piece of classic fast Zuiko glass. No disappointments with this
lens. $350 shipped anywhere in the USA. Slightly higher overseas.
Olympus Zuiko 85-250mm zoom with tripod collar. Excellent +++ with perfect
optics and mechanics. $160 shipped anywhere in the USA.
Olympus Zuiko 50-250mm f5. A seldom seem classic, perhaps the best of the
Zuiko zooms. This one would be like new where it not for a couple of small
marks on the hood. $500 shipped anywhere in the USA. Slightly higher
overseas.
Olympus Bellows - Mint in box. $135 shipped in USA. Slightly higher
overseas.
Great photos provided to those with a serious interest. As always money
cheerfully refunded, if item is not as described or as pictured in the
photographs. Simply let me know and return in condition received within 7
days of receipt of item.
If there are other Olympus bits and pieces on you want list, you might let
me know. No, I'm not jumping ship, just thinning a little as I prepare
to
move into an apartment while a new house is being built.
Off list please.
