I love digital !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some silly fads never go away, Celine Dion for example, and some keep coming back, the Volkswagen Beetle and bell bottoms.

It isn't necessarily bad to be a silly fad. (I made a rhyme ;))
 
I bought a few of these old cameras for a relatively low price, but I'm not sure digital has a lot to do with it. They're just old cameras.
 
You won't love digital quite so much when it finally kills off film Frank ... your twenty five dollar OM-2 won't be much use to you then! :D
 
Heh Frank - wanna swap that gorgeous OM for my DSLR? How 'bout both of 'em?!

What a superb buy. Congratulations.
 
I guess my wife will slowly starts to hate digital for the very same reason - I tend to get too much analog stuff as it is getting cheap ... ;)
 
Congrats, Frank. I'm waiting for digital to have a similar effect on Minolta XD11 prices, but I haven't seen it yet...
 
I love digital because it means I can shoot both film and digi whenever I feel like it...and more importantly, if it weren't for the affect on film camera prices I doubt I'd ever have bought my first Leica
 
OurManInTangier -- well said. I agree 100%.

In addition, I blame digital photography for giving me a painful bout of GAS. I would have never filled my house with dozens of old camera bodies and lenses if it weren't for those pesky digital cameras! :)
 
Interesting turn of events: The seller responds to me that the camera has developed a shutter problem and he doesn't want to send me something that doesn't work. I wrote back saying that I'd like it anyway, that I'll have it repaired. (I'm thinking he realizes that he asked for too litttle. It was a $25 Buy It Now.)

I was also thinking before posting my deal on RFF that I should wait until the camera is in my hands before talking about it here, and not jinxing myself!
 
Seller's remorse is what I'm thinking.

Gumby, I still love digital even if this particular deal doesn't happen because of the other classic film cameras I've bought recently for cheap:

Nikon F3, Contax RTS, Nikon F plain prism, Nikkormat FT3

With you on that: even if not as cheap as your deal above, I'm thankful for the OM-4, Diacord, 645 and an FE2 and F100 that came my way. It's a bit crazy but I'm enjoying them - and I also thank digital. Although we should give some credit to autofocus too.

Dang it! Maybe someone offered $26 ;)
 
It may have been the international shipping that made him look for a way out. He was an eBay seller with no history/experience. I gave him a friend's US address for shipping, and said that the problem may simply be a battery and that I would still want the camera. He was okay with that. Things may turn out all right after all.
