Ah... Graflexes. I know I have no space for such monsters, no fear of a GAS attack.

Well, here are the SLRs I use:
My old OM-4T, which still gets the occasional outing:
(the image is from Wikipedia - but its my camera and my photo)
I've just "liberated" Dad's old EOS 10, so that may get some use soon but I don't have a photo of it and haven't even used it yet.

Ok, take #2 (first attempt to post this picture is axed by the Restore over the weekend).
Just found a nice strap for my OM-1.

Here's a picture of my most recent SLR toy, a Canon A2E with a cheap 28-80 zoom & a 50/1.8 mkII mounted because I'm just a 50mm shooter at heart 
Not too bad for an autofocus camera - if nothing else, I get a kick out of the eye controlled focus & it's easy to use in manual mode with the quick dial on the camera back.
Unfortunately, the picture is from my phone's camera Bleah, but the only digital I have these days.

Olympus IS series, correct?
Knowing the optics quality from Olympus, these probably take superb pictures, I just can't stand the look, (and I am an Olympus nut), it's just so ... bulky.

IS-300. If you think that the IS-300 is bulky, you should see the IS-3000 with its 35-180 mm lens extendedshadowfox said:
Lens retracted the IS series cameras are in fact quite compact for 35 mm SLRs with 4x or 5x zoom lens. The biggest problem I have with the IS-300 is the lack of manual exposure mode. It does have aperture priority AE though. The four-digit IS models had manual modes as well.
Overall the biggest problem with the whole series is that the lenses are a little slow, F4.5-5.6 or F4.9-6.8. Thankfully the latter, slower lenses only appeared in the last-of-the-line IS-5000 and IS-500 cameras. What was Olympus thinking, I do not know... Probably they wanted to make the cameras smaller and lighter, which was also the downfall of the last generation of 35 mm zoom P&S cameras.
In general I like to IS series much more than the current digital superzooms, since the IS cameras are true SLRs with large and bright viewfinders, even if they don't come with 10x+ zoom range like the digital superzooms. And the lenses ARE good. Judging from the examples I have seen, the four-digit series lenses are comparable to best regular SLR zooms. The IS-300 and the rest three-digit IS series lenses are comparable to mid-price regular SLR lenses, which means that they are still much better than most P&S camera lenses.
And no, I do not plan to collect the whole series... Currently the IS-300 is the only one I own. But if I see the IS-3000 for sale and it's not too expensive, I won't be responsible for my actions

It's an S3 2000, so the family tree gets a little complicated

Sure, but the selection is distressingly limited. I have one roll of Verichrome Pan left in the fridge. Haven't seen slide film for ages, though there's a local shop that has a 110 projector and mounts. I think Ferrania still offers some 110, but I see only this one Kodak Gold 400 from B&H: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/122480-REG/Kodak_1049741_GC_110_24_Gold_400.htmletrigan63 said:

I have one of these....
(regretfully, not with that lens but a standard 50mm F/1.8, but it does have Databack 4 as standard)
...and one of these....
(an OM10 Quartz: basically an OM10 Black with Databack 3 hardwired)

A terrific Spotmatic kit! Finally to see some use? I see it includes a small case for an additional roll of film, and the slip-on accessory shoe. Except for the nice rigid carry case, I bought a new Spotmatic like that in 1965 when I worked in a camera shop. My first really good camera... Still have a Spotmatic Motor Drive model bought a little later.
