My first SLR - Olympus OM1

At about this point the rest of the world had begun embracing digital and various compacts were selling big. I still hadn't really owned my own SLR and with some advice from a mates godfather, who owned his own camera shop, I got my very first SLR. The Olympus OM1. It was and still is a great SLR. The Olympus lenses were bright, the camera was well built, the controls were chunky and it had TTL metering... the joy!
