I am only 25, and I am no doubt a rookie. But for me it is the mechanical, amazing feel of it that speaks to its user, the shutter speed ring around the lens mount is the most genius thing ever added to any SLR, the size... yes, THE SIZE, they made it as small as an ME super, with all the features and more of a Nikon F2, its just the pinnacle of camera design. It is truly the leica of SLR's or even better.
If I had one of my own I would take it EVERYWHERE with me, and THAT is why it is the best camera EVER made to me. Because it is so unpretentious and individual and comfortable, ANYONE can fall in love with this camera, it just speaks to you. Whispers in your ear and lets you know that YOU the photographer can forget about all the distractions of top mounted shutter speed dials, doo dads, and batteries, it gives you the freedom to JUST SHOOT, and have fun, and realize YOUR potential!! Not the camera's strengths, But, YOUR strengths, shine through with this camera... this is rare in a camera, especially today with all the contrast AF, Megapixels, and crop rates... there's no room for just making art... well my friend, there still is with at least one camera... .the OM-1 🙂
I hope you give it to someone who will use the heck out of it, she deserves it ! Good Luck!
