I have never found an Olympus OM at Goodwill either, but last week I bought a Rolleicord for $39 at a Goodwill. It is from 1936.... Had an old, old steel 120 "sprocket" in the camera from way back.... I'd bet it hasn't been used in 30 years.. I just got back a roll of film from it, and it works perfectly. Doesn't need the slightest CLA.


I also feel that everyone who appreciates the Olympus OM line owes it to themself to buy, or borrow a Rolleicord or Rolleiflex for a while. It changes the way you think about taking photos.....the whole process is just enjoyable. They can be had for the same price as a 100/2.8, and they are incredibly well made, great to use, and just fun, fun, fun.

It's even more nostalgic when I drive my 1956 VW Beetle, accompanied by my 1936 Rolleicord.

James.
