Nice shot, John, as is all of your work. The MF helps a lot, of course,
with minute detail in mind.
Thanks . . . yes, that combined with the slower film. When I got the
proofs back from the first one, which was more "goofing around" in a
friend's studio than anything else, first thing I did was kick myself for
using ASA 400! [had about 1/3 roll left in a body from some New Year's Eve
night street shooting and finished it off]
I recently (over the holidays) took the following picture with my puny
OM-4Ti and while it isn't obvious from this JPEG I tell you that the same
sort of detail within the individual offices comes out in fairly clear
manner. At that, this image was taken with my Zuiko 85-250mm, yet more
testimony to the overall quality of our beloved gear.

I wouldn't call the OM-4Ti puny (compact!). Nice shot, shows good detail
in the web image, and looks well exposed giving you good options with
levels of print density. I like how you used the tele-zoom. It has an "in
your face" flattening of depth effect that celebrates the density of San
Francisco's high-rise area (they're not skyscrapers, they're vertical streets).
Didn't realize how many of the Zuiko zooms have 8 aperture blades (looked
it up; about half including the one you used; the rest have 6). Also
speaks well of lens design. Take a look at some of the current Can*n EOS
zoom specs some time; some of them have only 3 aperture blades!!
