For a couple weeks now I've kept an Olympus XA in my pants pocket. I looked at my first roll, and I think I'll "wear" my XA like others wear wrist watches. 🙂
Yesterday, it was a Contax G1 with 28mm, 45mm, and 90mm lenses.
Today, it was an Olympus EP-2 with 17mm 2.8 Olympus, 40mm 2.0 Summicrom-C, 50mm 1.2 Canon and 85mm 1.4 Zeiss lenses.
Was out in the sticks of Eastern Washington today, photographed some wonderful farmhouses, cemeteries, wild roses and a very interesting granary. Leica M3 and 50mm Summicron. Panasonic GF2 and 20mm f/1.7 went along as well. I use both. But today, the Leica took most of the images.
Now I am shooting with my M1 (Olympus M1, that is), with it's 55/1.2 and 21/3.5. It feels fun to use an SLR again after a couple of years shooting only RF gear.
Photographed Seattle Pridefest today with a Perkeo II, Minolta 7SII and Leica IIIc. Still testing the Perkeo and trying to finish rolls in the other cameras.
I didn't shoot as much as I did last year. I thought 40mm/35mm respectively would be wide enough but it was packed and I would have been better off with the Nikon FG/28mm pair I used last year.
M9 35 Lux ASPH - this is mechanics choice, just dependable camera/ lens, to shoot without much soul or going after ;-) :-(
I wish, there was something like a very compact 35mm Noctilux f1.2 with the character of the late Noctilux f1 (no the CV 35 1.2 Nokton doesn't count, although it comes close in imaging - it falls short with the mechanics unfortunately).
Todays carry will be a Canon P w/a 35 2.8 & a 50 1.8 back up glass. I like this combo. Yeasterday I was packen a Canon III with a 50 1.9 . Happy days everyone.
Been carrying around my new Olympus 35 SP loaded with a roll of Fuji Pro 160s. I have a feeling the lightmeter is very, very wrong so I have been guessing exposure and sometimes taking my Sony NEX-5 with a Zuiko 50mm f1.4 to help.
