Thanks Bill, I'm okay with pre OM cameras. In fact I bought a
Yashica-A at the last trade show I went to. She's got a sticky
shutter that I was not able to unstick, but for $10 she makes a nice
display piece. I've also had a few LTM bodies (Canon, Tower) that
were fun to play around with, even if they were not very practical to
shoot (trimming film leaders is not my idea of a good time).
On an unrelated note, I just got back 4 rolls of slide film that I had
developed at Dwayne's via Fuji mailer, and on a good number of photos
there is what appears to be an out of focus hair in the upper right
hand corner of the frame. It's especially noticeable when there is
open sky in the photo. I remember reading somewhere that little
threads will work themselves loose from the shutter from time to time
and show up in your photos, but this always appears in the same place
in the frame, with varying degrees of sharpness.
The thing that makes me think it is not the camera but the processing
is that I haven't seen it on any other photos except for the slides
that I had processed by Dwaynes, and I was shooting negative print
film as well as color reversal on my recent trip (I would more or less
alternate).
I'll try to get an example up, maybe you guys can help me out.
