Dear Jimmy .....
Forgot to tell U......
I 'forced' myself to take my 7 yr old son out on Saturday past..... we went
straight down to Chinatown area and did some shooting.....
I brought along my R7...... OM4Ti...... and my son used the Minilux.....
Leica lenses, 50/2 , and 100/2.8 APO Mac...... U were holding the 28/2.8 so
I didn't get a chance to 'test' it......
For the OM , I took along the 16 FE (which I thot was really fun and
applicable in some shots.... ) 35 shift , 85/2 ,
The R7 was loaded with Fuji ASA100 Superia normal print film..... the OM was
loaded with Konica VX400 B&W chromogenic film..... why ? cos the spot
metering allows better 'control' of B&W shots........ a la zone system.....
The 35shft got used the most , then the 16FE and last 85/2......
The 50/2 Summicron was used more than the 100/28 APO Mac which was really
critical in some shots of extreme detail.....
I now recall someone saying that most shots are from 'normal '
lenses........
Still have half a roll left in both bodies........
The R system was really heavy and cumbersome..... beh tahan......!!!!
Nothing beats the smallness of the OM........ I still love it..... a 15 year
old love affair......
U will come to appreciate the beauty of the OM system........
Peace
TMLee
