Over time I’ve managed to put together what I think is a nice little Olympus OM1 kit with a 28mm, 50mm f1.8 (Of course), a 35-70 zoom and a 200mm f4 telephoto.\u00a0 Not comprehensive but small enough yet versatile.\u00a0 I loaded up the OM1 with some Kodak Portra 160 and\u00a0 pointed it at some stuff.\u00a0 Back in the early 1980’s this kit would have cost around $700 but now they can be found at just a fraction of that.\u00a0 As an all mechanical camera I don’t bother with a battery and shoot it without a meter, using a digital camera instead as a pre-exposure test if necessary. \u00a0 More about the OM1 in this post OM1 Metering<\/a> in case you want to use the meter though you’ll need to find a 1.35V PX625 battery if you want it to be accurate.<\/p>\n
