Dead Hands Cameras

It seems I missed the memo or perhaps I’m just not in the loop with the hip film crowd, or perhaps both. A bunch of film photography bloggers have been sharing posts this week, revealing the five cameras that, “you’ll have to pry from my cold, dead hands,” invoking Charlton Heston’s famous line to the National Rifle Association about holding onto his gun until death. The concept is for film enthusiasts to name their five beloved cameras that they wouldn’t sell, give away, or relinquish under any circumstances. So, here are my top five cameras that I’ll cling to until my final breath:

Olympus OM-2N (1979)

Olympus OM-2N (1979)

Nikon FA (1983-1987)

Nikon FA (1983 – 1988)
