Redskin ing a camera is easy to do. The change is as dramatic as wallpapering a room.

Warning: I damaged mt F4 by unknowingly using a lens with oil on it's aperture blades. The camera's aperture control

arm no longer stops down any lens during exposure.

There is also a 7S ll, which is more compact.

In some images, colour is the subject.

I echo what the good fellows before me said.

There is beauty in everything. It's subjective.

If the problem is that the screws are loose, then the solution is to just tighten the screws. No need for service.

There's also a store called 8 Elm that is worth visiting.

<p>That's not a fault, that's a feature. This camera has an automatic composition and scene evaluation mode that will keep the photographer from wasting an exposure when the artistic merit falls below a determined level.</p>

<p>Photography is like golf: Sometimes you hit a really great shot, but mostly you just struggle.</p>

<p>A Mamiya or Koni-Omega press camera would do the trick.</p>

<p>There are waterproof P+S digi cams with tiny sensors, and then there is the film Nikonos.</p>

<p>Seriously now, if you aren't getting along with the OM4T with it's averaging multi-spot metering capabilities, then the OM2SP is not the camera for you either, because it's <a href="http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&rlz=1T4ACAW_enCA342CA343&sa=X&ei=aKo4TtHIL_SfsQLEj9we&ved=0CBUQBSgA&q=raison+d%27etre&spell=1"><strong><em>raison</em></strong> <strong><em>d'etre</em></strong></a> <br />is it's spot metering capability. Perhaps and OM2n with just it's auto exposure and averaging meter is better.</p>

<p>I'll give you $100 for that crappy OM4T. :)</p>

<p>Macro lenses are a must if one is photographing a flat subject straight on and need sharp focus from corner to corner. No lesser option will do. </p>

<p>The least expensive way to play with macro however is with diopter lens filters that screw onto your existing lens. No so suitable for flat copy work, but fun and cheap.</p>

<p>Another inexpensive alternative is a reversing ring. It screws onto the front of a lens like a filter, and allows the lens to be bayonetted (backwards) onto the camera body. </p>

<p>AI or AIS 50 f2 or 1.8, 35 f2 or 2.8, no pre-AI lenses fit on the FM2 unless modified.</p>

<p>You could just get yourself a Canon FD mount body.</p>

<p>Yes, it does so have mystical powers!</p>

<p>IMO: Art appreciation, of any type, is subjective. What is good to one person, can be poor to another. On a personal experiential level, there is no right or wrong, no absolute good or bad art, no artistic or trashy. Only from academic, anthropological, and historical perspectives can valid (but still debateable) value judgements be made about works of art, including nudes.</p>

<p>Interesting debate though. One learns more about the debators themselves than the issue debated.</p>

<p>There are some people (and the preveiling view in some cultures) that <strong>any</strong> nudity in art is pornographic and evil. This is an extremist view (that I do not share) but it illustrates that the concept of "artisitic nude" is purely <strong>subjective</strong> (on a personal and cultural level.)</p>

<p>What did they pay for it? That's what it is worth. If they paid $20 and the camera said "Leica", then they'd have a treasure. A Sears 35mm film slr is worth at most $20 in today's market, given how digital photography has superceded film in many ways.</p>

<p>The KM is a rugged mechanical body with traditional dial controls. The ME Super is much smaller, electronic, and push button controlled. You have to decide which feels better to you.</p>

<p>Would you be interested in a black MX with 50f2 for $150? It needs new seals though.</p>

<p>The Rolleiflex SLR never caught on big time here in north America. I understand they were more popular in Europe. A mechanical Hasselblad is easier to repair than an electronic Rolleiflex slr.</p>

<p>Can you provide a link?</p>
