Olympus 35 RC photos

[Danlo]

Here's one.. I just got a new one because my old one was totally beaten up, I had been inside of it fixing the aperture with a bit of metal-thread (not knowing ANYTHING about the mechanics of the camera), the lens was heavily scratched and so on.. But the little bugger was sharp and worked flawlessly, this shot was from the last roll I shot with it.. Sometimes I imagine that the old half broken RC is sharper than my new mint condition one..???

Now I see the thread a bit further down on that topic, I'll investigate there.

Definitely a sharp enough lens for purpose but I did make the mistake of scanning my first roll alongside some Leica APO shots and the difference is as stark as you might expect.

I do love the tiny focus throw range and the meter is spot on. I threw a step up ring and third party hood on it's still a tiny setup perfect for take it everywhere stuff. Cool camera!

Wish they still made cameras like this, Olympus XA was my experience of 35mm film when I was younger and only into a point and shoot experience.

Thanks! I home develop and scan my B&W film, but the color examples were developed and scanned by Precision Camera (via their free developing with Hi-Res Scans for forum members). I don't know if they apply any density corrections or additional grain reduction, but I've been pretty happy with the quality of their service, especially for the price.

Another one with Portra 400.

How does this lens perform at f/2.8 and f/4 ? I am shooting an assignment with my RC this coming weekend.

Thanks

Here's one at f/2.8, probably at 1/30 or maybe even 1/15.

The 35RC was the only camera I took on a 1974 trip to Europe.

I couldn't like more this camera, especially loaded with Ektar, so I basically gived up all my photo gear to just shoot with this little beast.

These are delightful, especially that first one. 🙂

This a fantastic little camera, that I am a happy owner for the 3rd time (yes, I had one twice and sold it, then had to buy another one back two times 😛)
This is from my last roll of Polypan F, had a lot of dirt on my fixer bottle, and didnt manage to clean it all while rincing, so never mind some dust/dirt spots 🙂
