    Well, the "OM Living History Farm" has just received a T45, 35-80/2.8 and 300/4.5. Stay tuned for full-blown testing of this gear with the 4Ti and 3Ti on the www.zone-10.com website. Ken

    Hi I shot with the OM system during the 80's following a house burglary in which my equipment was stolen I was seduced by the then new Canon EOS system later migrating to Nikon currently using a F6 based system. As the system got larger I was constantly looking for a almost pocket-able carry every were solution, trying various compacts and finally a Contax G2. None gave me what I was looking for and I inavertly ended up Carrying the F6 and a Mini Trekker full of lenses.

    A couple of months ago my eldest daughter asked me to teach her about photography, so I got her a Nikon EM and a short zoom for a few pounds of the big auction site. when it arrived as was surprised haw small it was. This got me thinking and a few weeks later I am now the owner of a Nice late circuit OM4 and 3 prime lenses all of which fit easily into my waistcoat pockets so can I join you group.

    Regards to all Keith

    I have my old OM-1n still sitting on my shelf. It's the camera I scrimped and saved to buy new when I was a student - about 25 years ago! Haven't used it for years. Hold on - I've just switched the meter on and it still works! I'll try it out. Does this mean I can be a member of your cult? Paul.

    Any camera gear that has an "Olympus" Logo is NOT irrelevant.

    I had an XA for a few years and absolutely loved it.

    I'm a longtime OM user. I just found this group on here and thought I'd proudly put my name among those of you who have already joined this group.

    I've been using my OM2S for twenty years now, also have an OM1. Not as much as some of you but I do swear by them and love them. Also have the XA, but that's irrelevant here

    Look forward to discussing the OM series here and slowly building my collection.

    OK, I'll bite. Maybe this is a means of getting some dialog going in this group. Current stable: OM-2S, OM-4T, OM-3Ti, IS-3, E-1 with 14-54 zoom, Minolta A1, 24/2.8, 35/2.8, 35/shift (loaner), 50/3.5, 100/2.8, 200/4, Tokina AT-X 100-300/4 and a myriad of accessories. In the mail is a 35-80/2.8 and who knows what else. Have owned in the past: OM-1md, OM-2md, OM-4, IS-1, two Yashica GSN cameras, and too many lenses to count.

    I actually use everything and if I leave the digital stuff out, it all fits in a single 300EG camera backpack bag, otherwise I'll pick one or two items to stay behind or migrate to a standby bag and I'll carry the E-1 with two OM bodies along with the lenses.

    My wife says I have too much stuff.

    Right.

    I can't be that far behind, an original OM-1 non MD, two 2's, a 2N and now a 4Ti and lots of lovely Zuiko glass.

    Bill, I don't think you could even tempt me with the 7-14. You have no idea. Well, maybe you do, since you have the OM-3. Think OM-3 crossed with an M7.

    Now, for those who don't know, Bill says he has "all the single digit OMs", well, he's not exaggerating. He must have 30+ bodies all in working order. This cat also knows how to shoot, he ain't no poser.
