My camera kit

This is some of my camera kit. I have a pair of Olympus OM series cameras that I inherited from my father when he upgraded his gear (which is also where I got the D70 I used to take this). I think both of them are older than I am.
I've been using them for over ten years and I'm deeply fond of them in way that I've not found with modern cameras. I find the solid click and whir of the shutter and the mechanical action of winding on the film deeply reassuring and satisfying that's just absent with a digital camera.
I don't need auto focus or image stabilisation. I like winding on film and I wouldn't have made the switch but it's getting to awkward to develop, print and transfer pictures to digital.
