^that second shot is great!
I am an idiot. I always read that the Zuiko 35/2.0 was not good so I never sought one out. Their prices were always low - I think due to that reputation.
Now that I see they are fine lenses it is too late as the prices have gone sky high.
It is even hard to find a 35/2.8 for a good price anymore.
Ooooh, aaaah, nice 1.1+ million 50/1.4, nice body too.
Has the foam been removed from the prism? Light seals on back door replaced?
That makes for an OM-1 in chrome, OM-1 MD in chrome and black, and an OM-2 N in black! I am done!
Well, didn't we all tell ourselves we were done at some and yet still keep browsing the evil bay and the classifieds...Famous last words. 😉That makes for an OM-1 in chrome, OM-1 MD in chrome and black, and an OM-2 N in black! I am done!
I believe the foam has been replaced everywhere. I wasn't aware of any in the prism though.
What does 1.1+ million 50/1.4 mean? Is this a particularly good lens?
I believe the foam has been replaced everywhere. I wasn't aware of any in the prism though.
Does anyone remember where I can find that old article where they put an OM through hell and back to test its reliability with dust/water?
The 50/3.5 arrived today, unfortunately the back element is bad so I'm returning it.
First and only picture (Sony NEX):
That's a beauty of an OM-2N. And a pretty impressive image with the iPhone 5, I must say.I've succumb to the OM addiction. I couldn't help myself, last friday I ordered an EX condition OM-2n and 50mm f/1.4 from KEH and I couldn't be happier. This camera feels much better built than my A-1 and AE-1, and the thing that really sold me was the brass construction and black paint. My A-1 is a black model, but unfortunately when it rubs through the brass the plastic begins to show, which just looks ugly. I'm so happy this is solid construction. Here's a shot of it taken on my other new camera, the iPhone 5 🙂 I'm so happy with that camera as well, and soon it may be the only digital body I own!

Ditto. I had him clean fungus from a lens for the older Olympus FTL and was more than happy with the results.
