Nikon FM
In 1979 I received (as a very generous gift fom my parents) my first own SLR, the Nikon FM, equipped with a Tokina 35-70mm lens. I loved it, I used it for years, buying lenses from 28mm up to 500mm for it. In the 90s, in need of money I sold the whole stuff. I always felt guilty , it didn´t seem right to sell the first own camera. Now, after many other cameras another FM found its way to me and when I opened the package and used the controls it was like ...
The camera seemed to have stayed in a shelf for long years, the shutter needed some exercise, but now all works fine.
This was shot 1980 with a Danubia 500mm/f8
More Chrome
Some chrome from the 70s:
Olympus OM-1 (1972), Canon FTb-N (1973), Minolta SRT 303b (1975) and Pentax ME (1976)
Chrome
Two beautiful examples of the chrome age of photography. The Olympus OM-1 was released 1972, the Minolta SRT 303b 1975. In size and weight they represent the extremes of 35mm-SLRs in the 70s. Both had hard contact with the ground, causing big bumps on the body edges. But after more than 30 years all controls go smooth and the sound is still sexy!
