Lazy Sunday

I still use the stuff but travel now with different kits

Looks good. Now you got me going! Have an 803 and a OM2n, Tamron 24 and 90, with a om 50 1.8 plus TLA 20 flash. So think I will try your set up
thanks john

For a bag that has traveled for 11 years, there is barely any wear.

Very happy to see the Olympus OM bodies! I have a couple myself: OM4Ti and OM2n. They're in my "all time fave cameras" list.

BTW I think the autocorrect on the earlier posts mutated "Domke" into "donkey".

It is a nice bag and a nice kit.
I hope you are using it often.
A question though: why do you pair the 85mm and 100mm together? They are close focal lengths. I don't have the 85mm, but I do have the 100mm.
I wonder how they are different and how do you use them.

Nice, really enjoyed that, thanks for sharing. I know very little about Olympus bodies of that era and I try to keep it that way before I start another little sub fetish and the collector and gear-head in me takes over. I do hear they are very good though, the lenses are supposedly excellent bang for the buck as well. Nice bag too.

Good question

I typically use the 85/2.0
I bought the 100/2.8 at the time cause I could and because I liked the 85 so much
I should have bought the 100/2.0

You are right practically there's no reason to have both

Thanks!
The 100/2.0 seems to be an excellent lens.
It would be though a bit heavy for my use.

Everyone needs an OM1 or 2!

 

[clcolucci58]

What's in the bag? OM ( Oh My?)

Nice! I love my OM cameras, I've got a nice set of om4/t cameras in both black and champagne. I usually have the 28/f2 on a body, a 50f/1.4 on another, the 85/f2 in the bag. Sometimes I carry a 24/f2, a 19-35 f3.5 Vivitar series 1, or a 35-85? 2.8 Tokina atx zooms. Usually I have the primes only as they are so compact. I also use either a pair of the f280 flashes for the hss or a t32 flash for the bigger guide number. One thing with my prime lenses as they all have a 49mm-52mm setup ring as I had lots of 52mm filters from shooting Nikon.

Nice Kit! I have a Lowepro bag that I usually have loaded with a Fuji XE1 and Olympus OM4 with the 50mm f1.4 and 100mm f2.8. Makes for a very compact and versatile kit!

Which do you prefer over the 100mm f2.8 and 85mm f2?
