Olympus OM-1

My first personally owned camera was an awesome, svelte and sexy Olympus OM-1. It truly was an amazing camera. Durable metal body, sleek and smooth handling, and the camera and lens line exuded quality. My first kit consisted of the camera body, a T-20 flash, and a 135mm F2.8, and a 50mm F1.4. I took thousands of photos with that camera, and many of my photos were used in the college yearbook and in the college newspaper, too. It was a fast handling and very reliable, easy to operate, understand and use piece of gear. The OM-1 was a fully manual camera that holds a place in my heart today.
