I'm 31, just joined the list. I've been using OM cameras since I was a kid.
My father had an OM-G when I was young, and he taught me to use it when I
was about 9 and he got me an OM-G of my own when I was 11.  I don't have my
OM-G anymore, it was broken when I totaled my first car at age 16!  I
currently have two OM-4T black bodies and an OM-1n. I have 28 f2.8, 35 f2,
50 f1.8, 50 f2 macro, 135 f3.5 and 65-200 f4 lenses, a couple of winder 2's
and a couple of flashes.

I have a lot of other equipment too.  Some Nikon stuff (an F4s and a couple
digital bodies), some antique 35mm stuff (minolta SRT, Pentax Spotmatic,
etc..i like to play with old cameras and lenses), a Mamiya 645 that is my
main camera for landscape work, and a Kodak 14n digital that uses my nikon
lenses.  I still shoot a lot of 35mm film when I do black and white street
and low light work, and the two OM-4T bodies are still my favorites.

This series was shot entirely with an OM-4T and Tmax 3200 film. Handheld,
available light, no flash. Mostly with the 35 f2, some with the 50 f 1.8.
Most shot at f2.8 or f4 and 1/30 or 1/15 of a sec.

Actually, the photos of the outside of the place were not shot that way. One
was shot with my kodak digital camera, and one was shot with the OM-4T and
Pan F film.

I'm not the youngest in the group, but I bet I started with the OM system
the youngest!
