Here is another OM user; David Vestal mentions using an OM4ti and OM-PC in
the latest issue of Photo Techniques.
Happy Holidays, Mike

> Hi Shawn ---
> I ran across something the other day that might be of
>interest to the list. It is a book titled "How Famous Photographers
>Work". Of OM interest is that many of them used our favored brand.
>
>Anthea Sieveking, who photographed children in England, was working with
>both Nikon and OM, saying that she used the OMs because they were quieter.
>She shot things like Leboyer-style childbirth, which means shooting in a
>room lit by a 25-watt bulb. There's some shots with a 50 and a 70-150.
>
>Patrick Lichfield talks about using OMs on location (and Blads in the
>studio).
>
>John Swannell, a famous UK fashion shooter, describes using his OMs with
>35, 70-150, and a 300mm.
>
>Photojournalist Terry Fincher (UK) who prowled places where very nasty
>things were happening (from his pics), mentions taking his trusty OM-1s,
>and 28, 85, 70-150, 300 and a doubler. Also two flashguns, and a small
>set of folding steps to get that tall view.
>
>Famous bird-shooter Eric Hosking also used OMs. There's a shot there
>taken with the 600mm.
>
>Mario de Biasi, a Brazilian globetrotter, used OM2s, and a 21, 50 &
>70-150 in his travels while doing magazine work.
>
>
> From all these shots, maybe it is time to give the old 70-150 a second
>look...seems a lot of pros published work done with it (there's a fashion
>pro named Lucille Kohrnak who had a book out, and she used that 70-150 a
>lot).
>
> All these photographer's work are accompanied by several images.
>
> For those that are interested, the book was published by Amphoto in
>1983 by Eaglemoss Publications. The ISBN number is: 0-8174-4002-X.

> Wishing everyone a happy holiday,
