I've got a copy of the Guide...turns out John didn't know
about the "secret stash" spot for your winder cap in the
winder...he slags the OM-2 for being easy to lose the
winder caps, and says you ought to buy several. (Caps,
not OM-2's >;) ) OTOH, he really liked the TTL/OTF metering
that M. came up with, said it was ground-breaking (AFAIR)
All of the shots of the OM show a missing winder cap >;)

Subject: Re: [OM] photography books
Thanks everyone for your advice. I have just bought two books from
amazon. The first was well reviewed on amazon, but not mentioned through
this list - 'The Basic Book of Photography' by Tom Grimm, and the second
is 'John Hedgecoe's Guide to 35mm Photography'. Now all I need is a
camera and I'll be as happy as a boy in a sanbox!
To see the two books click on the links below:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0452278252/107-7512966-1695707
Thanks again everyone for your help, I have been amazed by the number and
quality of responses I have received in the 2 days I have been on this
list! I sense that there is a vast and diverse pool of experience on
this list, you will probably have many more pictures from me in the
coming months...
cheers
John
