How I cheated to my Leica with Oly OM-10.

Ko Fe:

I will have to hunt for the article... I think it was mentioned when she was shooting The Queen....

I believe their is a documentary coming out on her
Since her health at present is quite frail
and she finally gave in to be interviewrd

Those were her Two workhorse lenses
though the 50 I believe was her all time fav

Thank you, Helen!
Documentary was released in England this April, July it is in NZ, but I couldn't find it here.

You made my day by introduction to me of Jane Bown work. Photography at its best.
It is very interesting to read how minimal she was in terms of the gear and using available light.

OM-10, 50 1.8, TriX and available light. Just like Jane described, it was the moment and light to take this portrait.

I'm just little bit nervous how it rendered the right part.

Cheers, Ko.

@ Ko.Fe, you sly fellow! you 'made' me hunt an OM10 down and buy it!
So now I have an OM10 with the 50mm 1.4 on its way to me.
All thanks to your words and photos 🙂
