Recently I went to a Tudor re-enactment at Kentwell Hall. For the interior shots, I used an Olympus 35rd. I bought it on Ebay. This camera is known for having problems with oil and shutter blades. Fortunately my camera seems to have been rapaired. I am not sure how is lubricated because it start stiff and then the focussing become silky smooth. An examination of the screw heads revealed that they had been unscrewed. I don't collect cameras that are in pristine condition because I want use them.
One of the best features of these classic rangefinders with leaf shutters is that they are so quiet and unobstrusive.
