That certainly is a fine result, even without a CLA. You're a super shopper!
How do you like the OM in hand? I found it a bit small/slick to hold, though I get used to it. I kept the bottom of the case on mine as a kind of grip, though it made for a bulkier camera. _________________ -Jussi

Jussi, it is fine for me. i have smallish hands. the om-1 is about the size of a fujica st605, of which i've had two, and a bit more compact than a spotmatic. and oh, that OM viewfinder! i can focus with both eyes open, while wearing my glasses. _________________ Paul

Imagine the contrast of going back to a E-600 body after the test roll in a OM-2n , never knew it was that bad.
Havent tried to focus with two eyes open, may be something to try, thanks for the tip.
What focussing screen does your OM-1 have? My OM-2n came with a diagonal split prism, which I think is a quite nice version. |

The result isn't surprisng, as i tested this combo. Great for portraits in my opinion, with a smooth rendition, but also for landscapes.
Just one thing : there's some weird rendition on the scans, you can see it with the dog, and the 2nd pic above the right shoulder.
The OM series are / were great cameras with amazing viewfinders, no camera today can match. I had the OM2. _________________ Happy owner and user of :

thanks, guys.
my screen has a microprism circle, no diaganol split.
hexi, that is scanner noise from grossly underexposed dark areas. _________________ Paul

Nice work! I like my OM-1 too. I don't have that lens ... Hmmm, when's the paycheck arrive?

H,
could that be caused by a histogram that has been too tightly clipped (applied during the scanning process)? I've seen similar results when I've pushed the histogram too hard. It's usually in the extremes (hence the clipping thought), and seem especially prevalent in the shadows. I'm using a Plustek Optic to do the scans. My only means to reverse it is to re-scan, with more latitude in the histogram "tightening", ie. by ensuring there's no clipping of the extremes at all, and by ensuring the curve doesn't get anywhere near flat-lining in the mid-tones.
Have others seen similar effects? As I'm new to developing and sanning my own B&W's, I'd appreciate if anyone has any recommendations for scanning (generalizations obviously). _________________ Lochlann
