    Okay, it's not a "moving pictures" kind of film toy, but it is a film toy :-P.

    I bought myself an Olympus OM1 35mm SLR camera with 3 lenses (24mm wide prime, 50mm prime, and 70-150mm zoom telephoto).

    I found it on Craigslist looking for a broken 35mm SLR with the idea that I'd turn it into a 35mm adapter for my camera.  The only problem with this, is the guy said he hadn't used it in 10 years and wasn't sure if it worked... well it works beautifully!  Now I don't want to mangle it into an adapter :-P.  So I guess I have a new SLR to play with.  In any case I got a good deal with it, so I'm very happy and now plan to use it to understand film better. :)

    BTW, the wierd looking thing on the 50mm prime (lens in the center) is a UV filter that is a bit mangled, not the lens itself.  And that box is a set of close-up lenses (+1, +2, +4).

    Edit: okay try #2 at posting the image...

    Okay... this is really disappointing that the image stuff isn't working... maybe this link will work?
