For the last few weeks,it's been the OM-4T and 50/1.4 or 85/2.0

Today though, the OM-3 is back in the rotation
along with a 35/2.8 and yellow filter, some barely expired film.

The 85 is in the bag, I'll be ready for anything after my morning tea

Interesting camera the OM3 ... I spent some time tracking one down at a reasonable price.
 
I really like that it is functionally and ergonomically identical to the OM-4T
(Aside of course for the auto exposure)
Nice tight little camera
I'm trying to like the 35/2.8 but I have to admit that
The 50 or 85 usually is better for my general shooting style

The holy grain is the OM-3T with 2-13 screen
However I'm not keen about the price

John Hermanson once alluded that the 3 or 3T is
Vulnerable to a scarcity of replacement parts re the circuit board
Pretty much none exist and if yours goes - you can't get it repaired
Although at least you have a functional manual camera left...
 
My set has been rotating between film and digital, but it has become mostly the digital set.
film set: M3 and M8
digital set: M8 and M9

I use compact camera bags that allow to squeeze in both cameras with a small lens each.

That is one scary looking hood on the M8. looks like you were pounding nails with it!
