I was an OM-1 & OM-2 guy in a past life. Loved my little 24mm lens.

Was this mounted on a Pentax ME Super? I drooled over those when I was still at school - but couldn't afford it. I seriously considered a Zenit EM, but again, not enough dosh. I think I spent it all on "Amateur Photographer"! If you shop around you could probably pick up a Pentax like this for £30 now, which is what I paid for a lens hood for my 10-22mm lens today!

Chuck some film in and give it a whirl Ray - I'm loving my return to film!

I see a crystal ball and it says Ray's gonna put some film in this camera and show us what it can do!

Still a great camera, Ray. Recently I have been thinking of running some film through my old X-700 just for kicks. Do you still use this one at all?
