olympus stylus zoom

[mcctoronto]

got a roll back from a hand me down olympus stylus 38-80 zoom. I didnt think much of it and snapped a few here and there. the whole roll took about 8 months to finish. I finally brought it in and the results were supringly great. anytime in any condition it worked out well. heres a few from the roll. Its shot on ilford hp5, no photoshop adjustements except resizing and slight cropping.

They always amaze me, those stylus'. I have two coming from the bay, due this week. I keep giving them away in favor of others but, if one of these works, it's a keeper.
Now, if they made it quiet . .

I have two, one of which I have not used. The one that I did use is the first made with the slower 3.5 lens. It is amazingly sharp. Appears to be sturdily made. FYI: They are sometimes referred to as the MJIU. The most desireable is the MJIU or Epic with the 2.8 lens. Supposedly it is a "real keeper."

Some really nice resutls you have there 🙂
I have a couple MJU:II's (or Stylus Epic's) with the f/2.8 lens. Both i got for pocket change inclding batteries and original packaging etc. They are amazing little cameras. People just assume because they're plastic and small and have no zoom that they arent worth anything so often throw them out. Little do they know, these cameras can produce some amazing results.
They're bit of a modern day classic in my (biased) opinion. I've also noticed their selling price gradually increasing on ebay, so i wonder if they're acheiving some sort of cult status somewhere?
Have fun 🙂
