My wife and I were walking yesterday counting the number of things still in bloom despite the date, 16 November. There weren't a lot: some hawkweed, a red clover, this lupin, and then some things in people's gardens. I think all three of the "wild" ones are actually feral, introduced species -- what self-respecting native plant would bloom this late in the year, wasting energy on a bee-less environment and when seeds could not possibly be set? This was taken in my "new" Olympus OM-1 with (fresh) Kodak ColorPlus 200 film. I was in a junk shop yesterday morning and saw this camera in a kit with the f/1.8 F.Zuiko lens and an f/4 Zuiko zoom. There was also a Minolta Freedom Zoom and a plastic 127 box camera. All of it for $60. I wasn't interested in anything except the OM-1 and its prime lens, but it all came together. It seemed to be working well enough so I paid the man the money. I'm pleased with it. The OM-1 is *very* heavily used, with as much brassing as I've ever seen on a camera. But mechanically it's in good shape. And the meter even does a good job.
