Hi,
Real name is Erik, live in the rainy PNW. Design/Art student at my community college, have a couple photos in my school's gallery at the moment. Still trying to figure out what I REALLY like to photograph, but I've got a niche for long exposures, landscape, portraits (of anything). I have a T1i with the standard 18-55mm lens (it's an ok lens, I don't like to use it very much) a 70-250 for when I do sports/racing stuff, and a 50mm 1.8, my favorite, and cheapest lens. Also have a Speedlight 430 EXII.
My other camera is an Olympus OM-1 35mm that I received as a gift about 6 months ago. Works perfectly, apart from needing a good cleaning. Has a couple lenses, one is a Dietz 80-205mm f/4.5, barely ever used. other lens is a Sigma 39-80mm f/3.9 with macro. Also came with a winder 2. everything works perfectly now that there is fresh batteries in them all. I am still learning how to do film, so being able to buy good film on the cheap through the school is nice. I also get to process and develop B/W pictures for free at my school.
I also have another camera that I received with the Olympus, but its a movie camera from 1958, Bollex Paillard H8. Impeccable condition, still works, original manual, carrying case, couple lenses, filters, gun grip, remote trigger, all kinds of goodies, even has a tailors measuring tape from the 50's in it. I looked around on the interwebs and estimated a value around $700-1000. It also came with a Vivitar light meter, picture below, I haven't a clue what model it is. All I know is that it was inspected in 1970, the original manual that it came with said it is a Vivitar CsD Exposure Meter w/ spot attachment. Has anyone seen this kind of meter before?
Also looking for a tri-pod with a 3-point swivel, quick release, carrying bag, one that is sturdy, all for around 100 bucks. Tried to catch my self on some ice and broke my only tripod that I paid 30 bucks for. It was kinda cheap. I will upload some pictures later when my computer starts acting more intelligent.
