I’ve been through three or four Canon Ixus’ but got so tired of the lens racks jamming on me, I switched to Olympus recently, and currently I’m using a Mju 850 SW. Waterproof, shockproof, shitproof…

So far. 

The camera that I have had for longest - the camera I trust most, that feels more like an extension of my brain than a piece of photographic equipment, is my Olympus OM2n. I’ve been using it since I was six years old, and have since inherited it from my Dad. It regularly fucks up, weighs a tonne and has had more repairs than it will ever be worth on eBay. But I would never give up on it, it has been everywhere with me, and has recorded so many of my memories, it feels like a part of me - a third eye. 

It’s my most important and prized possession. The strap was my Grandfather’s pistol lanyard when he was in the Navy.
