A story of a revived
Olympus Pen film camera
Many years ago I bought an half frame Olympus film camera (see here the camera ) which had a fixed 28mm lens. I shot a lot of pictures with it, and many, were nice ones because I have a bent for wideangle portraying.
One day - Giurassic Park era - I paratrooped from the plane with the Olympus camera on my hands, shot some pictures, then the parachute lines went garbled and I began to zip down the earth like a dead weight , so I had no alternative than to stop shooting pictures to try to save my beloved skin. In those frantic moments the Olympus camera fell from an height of 200 metres/yards.
When I touched the ground, savely, I had my squad to patrol the area until they found the camera half stuck in the wet, lush, green, high weeds ground. With my survival knife I dug it out and made a picture of the neat hole.
You know what? After having developed the film someone wanted to buy it on the spot, and, regrettely, I did.
