£30! Lucky so and so! Film camera prices are insane at the moment, but that was a steal. JR has mentioned 7dayshop before, but I haven't been on the site for quite some time.

Yeah, I got very lucky on that. Charity shop finds aren't what they were a couple of years ago. There's a Minolta X700 with a 35-70 or similar Vivitar zoom for £40 but I left that on the shelf.
I got out on Sunday in a mix of bright sunshine and snow flurries and took a few more shots with the OM4. Almost finished the film.

Cool, I'm not sure when we will be getting out to stretch the legs. I'm off at the start of May so hoping to get out on the bike and shoot some film and try out the 360 camera. Got a pic of your new toy?

Here you go.

Always fancied an OM1 - thought they looked so neat, but they were a bit more than I could justify spending back then.

That's one of the joys of film cameras today. It's possible to buy (reasonably cheaply) and play around with all those cameras you lusted after but could never afford at the time.
I used to have an OM2, which got stolen but I managed to replace it a few years ago for much less than the £250 quid I originally paid for it.

Wow, looks very clean. Is the prism OK? Looks like you got a great deal, someone obviously didn't do their research properly before putting it in the shop.

Why not.

Looks like Kenzie is showing you the way round with the charidee shop finds there, Yoko! Blimey prices at 7dayshop have gone up, they were a lot less. They haven't had much stock for some time either.
