Black Olympus 35RC?? Ah yes...

I like it (the paint job), but I have one these and find it a pain to use. I mean Auto, Off and then the Fstops that don't have a meter. When you get everything set, you have forgotten to turn on the meter. When you turn it on that disturbs the focus. And this from a small camera. If it was designed correctly, it would retain the lens (excellent) the meter would work when the lens cap came off. Either you put it on A (auto) or you go to the Fstops (with meter). There would certainly be room for an A on the Shutter dial. I've missed way too many shots with this camera. Besides, that wonderful film loading slot causes light leaks.

Other than that I like the camera.

Colin,
If God had wanted us to have black RC's....!

You make me realrealy very envious! Seems to be very well done. I have two of them and you are giving me wrong ideas about what I could do with one of them....
and about gearheads: Why do we never call violin virtuosos who make endless eulogies about their Stardivaris gearheads? It's OK to have ahelathy interest in gear....
