There's still time for this tempting deal: USED OLYMPUS E-P1 W/ VF-1Such an insanely lovely and well-designed camera, Andrew.
And... I think I had its twin. Which I no longer have...I must have owed money to the mob, too.

What lens is it? I'm guessing a 35mm or 28mm, AI converted.View attachment 368959
An old picture of an old lens taken with an old camera I used to own.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was this lens, Ad.What lens is it? I'm guessing a 35mm or 28mm, AI converted.
I own its successor - the 35 SE, sporting a slightly faster Sonnar lens. I should definitely take it for a spin again one of these days.My first serious compact. this was great to travel with.View attachment 368815
Agree Matt. It would be good to run a roll of film through the Rollei again!I own its successor - the 35 SE, sporting a slightly faster Sonnar lens. I should definitely take it for a spin again one of these days.
Anyhow, let's first finish SiF and a couple of other rolls ...

I've never had the V1 get hot while shooting - but I switch cameras off after each shot, usually. Other than that, I still find that camera to be surprisingly usable over ten years after its release. It's one of the few cameras that, once you've wrapped your head around it, just works - somewhat fiddly in some respects, but very straightforward on the whole (in aperture priority, that is). Switch on (it's quick!), look through viewfinder, maybe adjust aperture, focus using center point (it's a 1" camera - no need to fiddle with AF points), reframe, press shutter, done - in well under five seconds, almost film-like (I've also switched off the rear screen entirely). Once in a while, I need exposure compensation (fiddly!), but that's about it. Pity you can't switch off image review, though. Still, a great visual notebook, especially with the 18.5mm f/1.8 lens (a gem - even if it's a bit bigger than I'd like). But of course, my current camera for that purpose is much, much better in *every* way: the Fujifilm X100V.Throwback to 2012 when I, too, had a Nikon 1 V1!
As I recall, I was hunting for something to complement my then new M9. Something to use with either very wide or very long lenses, but also to carry around daily. V1 wasn't quite it: while small, it didn't feel any in a bag than the M9, and the adapters I bought for my M/F-mount lenses were pretty low quality to put it kindly. And it got HOT while shooting. Mere months later the V1 gave way to Olympus E-M5.
But now I suddenly feel the itch again!

V1 users always seem to be very fond of their gear, what you say about it is about as critical as I've seen. If that's as bad as it gets, that's a very good thing.Throwback to 2012 when I, too, had a Nikon 1 V1!
