Precisely my thinking too! It's a very dependable bit of kit, and the AF I can trust a lot more than my shoddy eyesight these days 😅

The whole camera box is screaming at me but I had to somehow narrow it down! 😂
I love the OM system and usually travel with one, but my OM2n is a bit worse for wear these days and the OM10's meter seems to love just guessing. Still tempts me though.

The Vitomatic is wonderful - a must try!

I have indeed, spent quite a lot of time over there before the pandemic, so my first time in 6 years heading back!

I've not got all my images from my trips back then online anymore, but I suppose I'm always wanting to recreate the images of those days when I'm out hiking: rosie.scot/bergen_troms...

I'm trying to pick a camera to dust off for the trip and want to do things a bit differently this time (mainly going a bit lighter/portable). The shortlist is:

📷 Canon EOS 300 w/ 2 lenses (a prime and zoom, tempting)
📷 Voigtländer Vitomatic IIa (also tempting)
📷 My Olympus OM10 or OM2n

Any ideas?

They are not! By this point they had moved to their own Praktica Bayonet (PB) mount that interfaces electrically with the lens, and is very similar to the Pentax K mount.

I definitely need to find a chance to head out and test it before I’m back to work in the new year…

Praise be! Sing Hosanna to the King of shitty cams!

Happy birthday/gratulerer med dagen Mrs Diamond! Hope you're both having a great lil celebration! 😊

Oooh thanks for this! I've not shot Gold in 120 yet, looks like this might be as good a chance as any (if the fridge can fit any more in it) 👀

Oh I do love a bit of Sensia. That second shot is gorgeous, and the Sensia colours really compliment the building in the first!

Damn, what a view, and what a camera! Definitely looking forward to seeing results from this 👍

Thanks Monika! I came across this one in my archive while looking for some old images of home and it felt very fitting for what’s been on my mind recently. Glad I was able to convey that!

You’re too kind, thanks Peter! 😊

It is! The water in the White Cart river is always so clear, especially in the summer when its shallow, so you get some lovely reflections of the town hall. This must've been about 11 years ago now, and I remember that summer being just so damn hot and sunny, so perfect for reflections!

Yknow you struck me as a hockey fan. You not pumped up about the Blackhawks now that Connor Bedard is apparently going to lead them to glory? :P

Get your solid ass over here!

Happy birthday! A good day to have it on too 🍻 certainly looking forward to seeing what you’ll do with this wee haul over the next year!

Welcome! Good to have you join us!

I feel you there, chronic illnesses can bugger off. I hope it calms down for you soon!
