Great advice Trev on gift ideas. I’m looking at getting back into film photography. Majored in Photo back in the early/mid sixties and because of Vietnam never got to pursue it further. Wanted to go to Brooks Institute (now sadly closed), but life just got in the way. Looking at KEH for a 35mm. Noticed you like the Nikon FM (possibly out of my price range). Wondering what you think of the Asahi Pentax Spotmatic F or the Olympus OM-1, Or the Nikon FE. In addition, I would like to pick up the Rollei 35S for candid shots and easy portability. I have years of studio and darkroom (B&W) experience but have been looking for a company like yours for film, processing and lab work.
Thanks for your reply!

Hey Hack I can highly recommend the OM1. I bought mine in 1978 and it is still going strong.
