Going out onto the street I will Normally take the OM-2n thats my regular use camera these days, the OM-2 is broken all it needs is a new top plate (which I have) but I need to find the time go get the tools and swap them, I may just take it to a repair shop as it not a very expensive job.

I would like to be using the Canonet more for street, but its not very easy to focus with but it is dead quiet, normally I will carry a 50mm 1.8 and a 28mm 2.8 Zuiko lenses with me, I also have a 135mm Hoya lens for the OM system but I don't use it that much. I will normally Carry either the MJUII or the Stylus Epic everywhere, one of them is always in my ruck sack, they are ideal for cycling tiny and very light, the batteries won't self discharge if I don't use it for 2 months. The MJU and the XA2 I tend to use for nights out, a bit like many people would use a disposable camera, only its much better and I don't really need to worry about them getting stolen. Although recently I used the Stylus Epic on a night out and still didn't need to worry about it.

The F80 I bought after I had already been very used to the OM cameras, I had used a modern digital but after being shocked at the array of features on a friends latest Minolta SLR I new I had to get a modern film SLR. It is really good it’s the camera I will often use for street photography cross processed; I also use it for family gatherings etc and also the shoot I did with a model (see my gallery). Its really consistent the view finder almost looks like a bright photo It really helps me to get it right and not waste film, just get the flash right other wise you might end up with a lot of photos that look like this [link] rather than like this [link]
