Whose back is bumpy? Oly 35 LC!

[dreilly]

Picked up off of ebay. CLA'd a few years back by camtech. First impression: nice!

The specs on size/weight looked like they were close to the 35SP, but I remember the SP as smaller somehow. This one rivals a Yashica GSN. Anyone else have an LC and feel like it's larger/bulkier than their SP?

Nice bright VF, and needle meter that you read from waist-level, which is nice. Mine has been adjusted for Silver Oxide batteries, a plus.

It also has almost no light gaskets in back. Does anyone else do without them? I imagine if they were supposed to be there, camtech would have put them in. It's very clean, like it never had any. Just the one pad on the door hinge.

Haven't shot a roll thorugh it yet, but appears that I'll be taking it to Slovakia this saturday...I need to take two good pics for the RFF book 2! Just got 20 rolls of XP2 from Freestyle.

Here's some camera porn. I heart camera porn. And this camera is know named Bumpy...

Whose back is bumpy? Well look at my back, chap! 😀
nice oly, by the way.

Bumpier than thee! 😀
(Mr Aki Asahi gave me bumps all over)

Whoa, that's lots of bumps. Actually, the Oly has a very smooth back...it's just the Rhino that has the bumps.

what does the two wheels do? i mean the one that seems to be the function wheel.

Doug: John is pretty good about answering questions in email, so give him a shout about the foam. Unless you see evidence of foam that is missing because of deterioration, my guess is it doesn't need it except where it currently installed.

I'd love to have an LC, so I'm jealous! Give me the dimensions and I can tell you whether it's bigger than the SP. 😀

My God! Your camera has warts! Do something, man!

What causes these bubbles anyway? Humidity?
