That's a impressive zuiko collection you have alexandre!
Some times I too feel tempted by the OM bodies, but I just can't see myself shooting film anymore. I guess my new EP-1 can adress this issue though

Obrigado ó pá!

The most charming mount IMO. And I can use 'em all on Canon. Oh, on E-P1 too! Simply perfect.

Great Alexandre!

Quite the obsession you have there...

One question: what lens did you use for the group shot? There is some major barrel distortion going on there...

I'm pretty sure he owns an 18/3.5 as well, and I don't see it in the group shot...

ulrikft, sweet M6. Not sure why you'd wanna hang that brick underneath it since the M6 manual film transport is silky smooth and silent. To each their own!

For those that enjoy the classics, here's one of my M3:

Here's a new one. New for me, that is.

Ah, neat. Do let us know how it performs, Jim.

I wish, Kyle, I wish. But I wish a 5D more.
PhotoMaximum I have a Vivitar 17/3.5 but I used the Tamron 17-50 on this one. And it's not an obsession, it's a collection. Careful, she's so sensitive.

Borrowing the camera/lens combo, don't have a bottom plate for use without battery grip.. if I had, I would use it without it!

I would argue that nikon lenses have some of the nicest looking coatings

Nikkor-N 28/2

Damn, I missed out on a pre-AI 28/2 just the other day. Was so mad!

Hell since Im posting gear porn I may as well drop a few more

I got mine for a RIDICULOUS price cause it had a little fungus on the inside of the rear element - cleaning about to commence
It's so mint I could swear it had never been used..

Damn nice lens.

ahh may as well drop some more since we love to drool now dont we all

Some sold stuff:

The best $25 I ever spent:

A w e s o m e alexandre.... I love Zuikos as well. I'm going tiny with my Zuikos for travel photography. I'll travel just with a 21 3.5, 50 1.8, and go slightly larger with a "huge" 100 2.8.

Now all I'm waiting for one day is a full frame digital body the size of the old OM cameras, and I'm set.

As for the archive, I really wish they would reconsider it. This site is SUCH a valuable resource. Often I'm finding now that google results are pointing to posts on this site for the photography related searches I'm doing (A lens comparison for example), but it's gone and in the archive.
