What about the strange Nikon lens bayonet system using f/5.6 setting also for more confusion.
I also bought an Olympus non working OM4 Titanium with f/1.4 lens for next to nothing at a charity shop.
My camera shop friend looked at it, flicked a switch and it works perfectly. Some claim it is the best SLR ever.
It is the people you know, not what you know that is important.
Have you tried using a Linhof 5x4 aerial camera or even a Vinten without knowing what you are doing?
