Thin Air, Bright Sun
Oly Pen D, recently got light seals replaced. Ilford XP-2. Unfortunately, most of the images on this roll had unexposed frames every other shot, like the camera's film advance was reverting to "full-frame" spacing. I'll have to take it in to get looked at again.

All told, I'm please with these images, by and large. The granularity works well with the subject matter in the 1st and 3rd images (available light, dimly lit), whereas with the Range Cafe image I'd prefer a yellow or orange filter over the lens. With 400 speed film the camera's shutter speed is maxed out while the f/stop is at f/16 in bright, New Mexico sun. There's already a screw-on UV filter over the Zuiko lens; I'd like to find some in yellow or orange for the Pen.
One other thought is that the zone focusing worked really well for me. The small format has a comfortable margin for DOF, while I was able to estimate focus distances pretty good, even at wide apertures.
