We definitely need motor and winder noises available as sound files on the
www, in the same way someone has done so with mirror and exposure release
sonds for various OM bodies. I don't have the proper equipment, but
anybody else? This could be added to the FAQ.
I am well equipped for the audio portion of this task. And it looks to me
like Tom S. has every possible variation of the Olympus gear. And as luck
would have it, we both live in Austin. (Well, I guess it was luck that my
parents moved here when I was three, but it's not luck that I still live
here. It's not even hot here today. Of course, we're nearly under water
...) My recording kit is easily portable so we could meet wherever is
convenient. Are you up for a winder recording party Tom? We need some
good excuse to meet. I'll be off to Reno in about a week and I'm already
going crazy getting ready so probably not till after that. I'll be crazy
editing and posting all the media then, but that's really a steady, year
round state for me so I've learned to deal with it.
A couple of points about my trip to the Reno Air Races: I am in the
process of buying a Zuiko 65-200 from another list member. Many thanks to
everyone for the recommendations. Also I have cleaned up my web pages of
prior years stuff enough to post them. I work in the computer biz and have
worked on major e-commerce sites (I did the architecture and performance
work for the Dell factory outlet system for example) but my personal web
pages look like engineering drawings at best. Anyway
see: http://mcgriffy.com/reno/Reno2K Note that many of these are scanned
on a very cheap scanner from the worst batch of 1-hour prints I have ever
had. Any comments on how I might do better this year will be
appreciated. I know not to use that lab again. I mean about the
photo's. Some are with my OM-1 and either the 50/f1.8 or an old Vivitar
135mm. Some are from an oldish Kodak digital.
