Well, I just came back in the house from grabbing a few pics of a couple
of deer in the graveyard across the road. The graveyard sits on a steep
little mound covered with huge hardwood trees, and everything is covered
in snow. With the early morning sun filtering through it is really
something else.
Because it is about 10 below centigrade (other OM's die in the cold),
and I needed to use a 200mm lens and still have 1/250 or more, I grabbed
the all mechanical Om2000, which I have loaded with 160NC. It worked
perfectly in the cold, and the spot metering is really nice when trying
to meter against the snow in that kind of lighting. Of course I don't
know yet what I got.
But there is one aggravating problem, the shutter lock! Has anyone tried
filing off that piece that hooks into the shutter button, so that one
can release the thing without the wind lever sticking in your face? Or
is it more complicated than that? Wayne
