I hit the twice-a-year f-Stop Swap (http://www.f-stopswap.com/) camera
show in suburban Minneapolis yesterday. Attendance seemed way down from
previous years. Olympus film items were pretty meager--some OM-10s and
OM-1s, a mix of 50/1.8 and other unremarkable lenses, and no macro
equipment at all. There were plenty of lenses for Canon and Nikon
cameras, lots of ancient ('50s, '60s) camera bodies, a few early Bolex
16mm movie cameras, and boxes of used (usable?) flash units by various
manufacturers, camera cases, and various filters . There was a
beautiful OM-4T with a 50/1.4 lens, but at $439 (IIRC), I passed. Did
pick up a Sunpak Auto 522 flash to use with my Mamiya 645. Now here's a
flash that means business. It makes the T20 flash ($15) I also bought
look like a child's toy.
And on the Mamiya 645, I found that the Olympus right-angle
Varimagni finder slides right on as though it were made for this MF
camera. Cool.
