 My hand-me-down, old school OM-2 that's still cool after all these years

My hand-me-down, old school OM-2 that's still cool after all these years

A little camera love affair

June 16, 2015 by Suzie Williams in photography

Perhaps not surprisingly, as I make part of my living as a photographer, I am a bit of a camera geek. I shot my first wedding on film and have always held a place in my heart for the old-school, proper metal-and-chrome finish of cameras of old.

It's not just the quality of the film images this old OM-2 shoots, especially in black and white, that I love. It's the styling. So lean, so retro before it was cool and so compact.

And I think that's why I've fallen BIG TIME for the bloggers' darling, the Olympus Pen e-PL7. Oh how I want one. Not so much for the selfies, but for the pop-it-in-your-bag-and-take-it-everywhere styling, the lens options and the superb image quality. Oh and the in-built wifi. Because I need to keep my instagram feed looking just right, don't I?
