Sometimes back is forward.

So today was shopping day

Now I am glad that I am PENTAX compatible, so I am not jealous or angry. However... :-)

i'd kill for a 3Ti.
well, maybe not kill, but there might be some traction required afterwards.

Why the 3ti??
The order for the 4ti just fell through so now I'm off to ebay to look for a second hand one. It's a bit chocking that they still ask for around 900Euro for the body new.

less worry about the electronics.

god, the om4ti... had forgotten all about that - never had one but i remember lusting after one, as a 14 year old kid with a zenith 11, (the girls from my town weren't exactly lusting material back then)

Really nice selection of equipment there. I've been playing with the Minolta a tiny bit but in the long run I've realised I can't really afford film photogoraphy right now, and that it doesn't really suit my style.

Still, 'tis good for portraits.

my dad bought an OM4 years ago, new. problem was, it suffered from battery drain issues - a known issue with them - and it was sent from their dublin office to their london office for a checkup. but they lost it in the post. by the time this had happened, the Ti had come out, and they replaced his 4 with the Ti. happy days.

Film is the new digital

I wish...

i bought myself an OM1n recently to assuage my guilt about buying a DSLR; it's my favourite of all the OMs i've used - current stable is OM4Ti, OM4, and OM1n; also have a 2SP i've stashed in my dad's house.
