there are serious practical concerns to using a long lens, like the 90/2, as a general purpose lens.
still, this lens is nuts.

Does anyone have experience with getting a CLA for an OM-4ti? I'm in Europe.
I emailed Michael Spencer, but he's retired and only does OM-1's for fun. He recommended Advanced Camera Service, Norfolk and Watton. I can't find the last one. Norfolk hasn't written me back and Advanced Camera Service (ACS) has quoted me 56£ for a full CLA. Does anyone have experience with them? It's a great price, too great a price even, which makes me a little hesitant.
EDIT: ACS in Norfolk, Watton. It's not three companies, it's one, haha! Anyway: does anyone have experience with these guys? I've heard great things about Michael Spencer, so I figured the person he'll recommend won't be bad either.

Mr. Timmann worked for Olympus Europe in Hamburg for nearly 20 years and should be able to help you.

No expierience with those guys and I don't think you get a cla for that price, but I also have sent cameras to OM-doktor in Hamburg and he has always done a good job for a reaonable price (om-1n and om-3) I think it was in the €150 region.

I've used all fancy Googling tricks I know of to see if anyone had experiences with them. Three user reports: two positive, one said they were really shady.
For like 60€ more I can hopefully have it CLA'd by guys who know their stuff.
I'll email Michael Spencer to ask if he can elaborate a litte about ACS.

Was rummaging through the Oly thread and saw some of your images with an OM-1n and 1,4/50mm. Nice looking images. Making me consider film again. Heading out to shoot a Yashica Electro35 GS that once belonged to my dad. Thanks for the inspiration! (Oh, my first 'serious' SLR was an OM-10. Ended up with two, sold and bought two OM-2S bodies, and finally went to two OM-4T bodies. Love the light weight and the metering system of the OM-4 is the best I have ever used.)Sunset

Shab, I really like the look of your pictures. This is with Ilford FP4? In Rodinal?

Ah, thank you, Shab. I thought I saw some pictures of yours on your blog in this style with FP4. Then I wondered about the grain size, but with Rodinal etc. it would not have been impossible. HP5 of course!
I love the way the picture looks like it were drawn with a very soft pencil.

Yes, in our travel to Stockholm I bring 30 rolls of FP4+ and 2 rolls of HP5+. This photo is from one of them. 🙂
In my blog there are some photos with FP4 Plus developed with HC110, you are right. 🙂
Thank you very much again, and yes, I love this style, like it was drawn with a very soft pencil... love it! And the G Zuiko 50mm 1.4 is very special for it.
