Dawid Loubser is going to be the new home for most of my OM gear.
Thank you Dawid.

Hi Clay, 

Well, I am not sure if you want replies off-list, or not, but here 
goes, why I would like to be the recipient of your 
equipment. First of all, I think I am one of the few (i.e. can count 
on one hand) number of list members using exclusively 
film equipment. 

As of this stage, I have zero (nada, zip) cameras with a built-in 
meter, I never replace the batteries of my OM-1's meter, 
because it forces me to work in the same all-manual way as with e.g. 
the Mamiya RB67. 

Now, my problem is this: I love Macro, and it's most of the time very 
difficult to calculate exposure for high-magnification 
work. Were I to be the kind recipient of said OM-2, it would be the 
most modern camera I own, and would be of great use in the Macro 
(all black and white film, of course, hand printed in the dark room). 

The same goes for a flash unit like the T32 - I don't own any flash 
unit, and would love to get some experience with Flash photography. 
Last of all, being down here in South Africa, you can be assured that 
if I ever tire of it, there would be no shortage of a needy 
soul to pass it along to. 

anyway, I had to take a shot at it! 

kind regards, 
Dawid 

P.S. When do you announce the free 3Ti?
