When I attend a wedding and have my Olympus OM-2 hanging on my neck the pro photographers are amazed and ask about their history.
My first Olympus (a model 35RC) was purchased in 1973 at the PX at Ft Hood Tx.
Back then a 36 exposure roll of 25asa Kodak slide film including processing cost $.99 such a deal
As a long time resident of Rochester NY where we’ve watched thousands of people lose there jobs at Kodak as film was dying and digital was coming to life, here’s some news that shows film is quietly growing in use.
In fact I turned in a roll today for processing. Who’d have thought this could be happening!

Thanks
Great shots
It’s nice to see that there are barns maintained so well
You have a very nice collection, I own two Olympus OM-2N cameras with winders and many lenses. I began my love of photography when I was drafted and served with the 2nd Armored Division at Ft Hood Texas 1972-1974 when I purchased an Olympus 35RC rangefinder at the PX. Back then the PX sold A roll of 36 exp. Kodak 25 ASA slide film with processing for $.99 such a deal!
I’m still using my Olympus cameras from time to time, as film is quietly and slowly making a bit of a comeback.
I live in Rochester, NY the home of Kodak. I hope you do well in selling your equipment.

Thanks for submitting all the background details. Johnny Cash was one of my favorite performers.
Thanks for sharing Jim, a good example of “The Golden Rule” put into practice.

Very nice photo!!
Some of my favorite photos are many decades old of farmers operating their tractors in their fields.
Too often no one would think to capture these important life memories on film or now digital format.
Again, a very nice photo
Thank you for taking the time to respond, you’ve been very helpful
Who can help??
I have an Olympus OM-2s Program film camera.
The manual does not say what the maximum shutter speed can be used for flash photos. I don’t own an Olympus dedicated flash, which I believe might automatically set the maximum shutter.
Anyone know??
My thanks to you for considering this question.

Who’s more patient the photographer or the turtle?
