Well I did have an OM4 in excellent condition until today: I was taking
some early morning photos in Trier (Germany) when my home-made wrist
cord unravelled and the little black box slipped heavily to the cobbles
with a dull thud ...:-( I suppressed an expletive (it being Lent) and
picked the thing up - only a slight dent to the corner of the baseplate
and a slight corresponding bulge. I tried to check if it still worked
but the shutter froze and I had to wait until I could find a shop which
sold batteries to check that it would still work electronically - it
does. Moral: buy a decent strap since it is not cool to make your own
and drop it.
On the subject of PvT. I have listened for a while and I am sanguine
about his postings. I do have a problem with the way some have allowed
themselves to get so angry about it (like me at work on a bad day ;-)).
Some of the lenghty quotes have indeed been a little disappointing, but
I shall not let that worry me.
The value of the List for me is that I read some humour, some wisdom and
some useful tips; I skim all the postings and delete those which do not
interest me (e.g. I'm sure loads of people have an interest in PF
lenses, I don't but so what).
Non-OM content: I have just driven back from Trier in a Mercedes CLK
230K (not mine for long) and it was great fun.
