It's called the 500GX and has a slider on the front side that operates the multi exposure mechanism. See the pic here. https://manondamoon.com/dsc00202-2/ Can't believe the prices being asked for them.
I didn't realise there was an OM10 Quartz - just looked it up.

Oh yeah, didn't you know? Black paint makes you a pro! I managed to find a grip for my OMD, paid a tenner plus post. I almost laughed when I say it (it's tiny!) But it's added some needed bulk and weight to an otherwise dinky camera.

Found a Pentax 28mm f2.8 in an antique shop today. Thought I'd pop it on one of the MXs.

I had a later one (wording around the edge like white lettered tyres), it wasn't very good, the earlier lenses are often better though. I also had a Hoya 28mm f2.8, it was better than the Pentax.

Ah, you probably had the later SMC-A lens. A lot more plastic in those ones. I have a few of them, f1.4, f1.7 and an f2. Fired off a couple of shots with a Sureshot A1, but not much doing. Its my wife's birthday tomorrow so we both have the day off and are going to take the bikes out.

I picked up a P30n off the shelf to take up to Norfolk. Lens... Check, strap... Check, film... Check, batteries.... Oops.

Hey Howard, that rough old Canon A1 that you sent me ages ago has been sitting in the dead box for ages. Dug it out yesterday and popped a battery in. Seems to be working now, but with a bad case of Canon Cough.

That one was a while ago. One of my early Gumtree bundles. Condition wise, it was pretty rough but I'm glad it's still got some life in it.

My notifications are still not working... Its really odd about the Canon, its been sat doing nothing and now all of a sudden it works. Side note, are UV filters worth it? I've read they can degrade image quality on digital, but not so much of a problem with film.

I'm not sure about UV filters and the effect they have on mages. I think there are different grades of UV filter too, which complicates it even more. I've always stayed simple and gone for plain old skylights.
