OM, I've become a Zuikoholic!

[Shab]

The past sunday I went to walk with my family to the same place, from the same way... pure routine.

And I tokk with me a Canon 5D (from a friend) with my Zuiko 28mm 2.0... and I took five photographs.

When I have seen those photographs I have seen five little graphic poems... so, I have called this little collection "Graphic sonata in five clicks".

Here are the five clicks:

First click: spectacular

Second click: A small touch

Third click: on the porch of house

Fourth click: no title.

Fifth click: playing

I hope I will not bore you with my pictures...

Pete lent me his Zuiko 21mm/3.5, so naturally enough I shot him. OM1, HP5+

No, you haven't. But, watch for batteries. LR44 will last just a couple of months. SR44 will last some more.

A single 3v Lithium 1/3n battery is what I've been using in my OM 2s and OM2n for a couple of years. I have converted to using this cell in my Yashica Electro GX as well so I bought a 10 pack on eBay and didn't pay too much. I find the voltage is very stable and the energy density is higher than regular button cells.
I found out about the 1/3n when I sent my camera off for a CLA with fresh silver cells and it came back with one lithium cell inside. I figured Yoshi was trying to tell me something!!!

lynnb,

Nice capture! Back in the eighties I shot with OM's. The 21mm 3.5 was a super lens for those times I needed to work in tight quarters. That lens is on my short list as I rebuild my OM kit.

lynnb, great shot! I love this lens also... small and great performance!

Playing with the 28mm 2.0 and Canon 5D:

​

The Canon 5D is a "big" camera for me... and I'm thinking about a Sony A7 to use with my Zuiko lenses... Has anyone used Zuiko lenses on A7? Thank you...

Is there any problem in using an OM camera?
Use film and use it a lot.
Your grandsons will thank you.

If you look at my previous photos you will see I love to use my OM-1... but I'm looking for a digital camera for some situations...

I LOVE film and I like digital.

My single m43 lens broke apart, and I've gotten an OM adapter. However, that brought me to the point that if I'm slower using the EPL this way, I might as well be using the OM1.

Should recommision it. Got a roll of superia 800 for shooting the interiors I'm finding myself lately.

And nowadays, for snapshots I'm just using the phone more and more...

Shab
I know, that's why the question.
And I have 3 OM-1. And other OMs to make company!

Prest
Well, I like your avatar. Make it justice, ditch the phone!

 

[Shab]

ravilamir, there are times when I don't have time for anything (only for family and work) so I'm thinking on getting an Digital SLR like A7: small body with great sensor for my loved Zuikos.

Have a nice sunday!

One photo I took yesterday with the 5D and the Zuiko 21mm 3.5 (it is a simple family photo):

 

[jmilkins]

Exactly what I did Shab...and the Zuiko character shines through on the A7...
