What cameras are you missing?

When my father passed away, I inherited 2 camera bags of Olympus SLR's from around that era, along with lenses, flashguns, filters etc

I may be able to help fill a gap!

Re: What are you drinking right now....?

Had a bottle of Wild Bill's IPA this evening. Decently full bodied, slightly sweet but nice and hoppy, 5%ABV. One of Aldi's own label beers, by all account brewed by Marstons (will have to compare it with a bottle of Pedigree). Only £1.19 for a 500ml bottle. :shock: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com...

504 being the grade of stainless steel that is impervious to constructive criticism
