Decided to post some of the larger files:






I think this will be one of my faves. Here's a pic of the lil popsicle:


Using cheap Memories 200 film and Zuiko 1.8/50 lens.

I'm not suprised of this stuff rendition, and i presume the cat is taken at wide open Very Happy

So what do you think so far of this camera and its design ? and the viewfinder ? cos some say its kinda "dark". I had a full mat screen and with the 1.4 50mm it was a real pleasure.

Hexi, yes cat shot was either wide open or at f2.8. Wink The VF is
awesome, like going to the cinema as one forumer said, long ago.

I took the hotshoe off and stored it, I seldom use a flash oncamera,
anyway, always off, via pc cord.

Love this camera, the design is well-thought out, what a contribution
from Maitani-san!

Just wondering about the first pic ... do you play percussion?

Cheers
Tobias

Tobias, no, I play keyboards and woodwinds. I'm also a certified repairman of band instruments (WIT '72).

Tobias, as I'm fond of saying, someone who beats on drums is a
percussionist, not a musician. Laughing Just kidding. Wink

Poilu, thanks!

Very nice Bill, the leaves and the clarinet shots have very good detail. The cam and lens look sexy, is there no end to your lust? Smile

I have this in the f:3.5/28mm version. Nice, small, and very sharp.
I believe you will have a lot of fun and success with this lens.

Rolf, love your product photos and that's a great flower shot! I have the
exact same lens only mine is older, serial #130844. It did very well on
my Olympus e300 so hopefully will give me good results.

Thanks for your comments and link!

Thanks, Andy! Have the 28mm and Fuji 160S loaded to see how this
film compares to Portra.
