i am fortunate to have two lovely OM1n bodies, black and chrome, which
alas dont get nearly enough use. recently i have been burning up roll
after roll of casual snaps (fuji NPH, natural light, 50mm@f2.8 and
~1/15sec, gorgeous stuff), and now that *lots* more family will be coming
up for a wedding this winter, i'd like to do more. quie a few of my shots
this way are 'ruined' since i cant quite follow along in the viewfinder
and trip it quick enough, not to mention focussing in said low light
conditions with speed.
so i have two bodies, i figure i keep one for the outdoor shooting and
swap one for a compact rf.
that said, i'm more interested in *trading* rather than sell this and buy
the rf.
first, have i gone bonkers? i know i've brought this up in the far past,
but this time i only will get rid of ONE OM body, keep the other, so i
have RF for snaps, and SLR for more serious fare.
second, would anyone be willing to trade a chrome OM1n w/ 50/1.4mc and
cover etc for a compact RF in working order, etc. i was thinking the
rollei 35s (maestro john lind? sage advise?) oly RC/RD or the ubiquitous
canon iii g17 something or other.
i wear eyeglasses, if that matters in RF/VF land, i dont care about auto
exposure, i've gone manual for 6+ years, i only need to get a general idea
of light go from there. the lower the shutter speed, the better, 1/15 and
faster the OM cna hold its own, it is in the quarter second range that i
cant be steady enough to get keepers on a regular basis. the smaller the
better too. etc etc. i shoot the digicam in manual mode in these
conditions, and there is just too much noise (plus it gets warm soon
further adding noise--besides, contrast is far harsher than NPH!)
ideas, suggestions, comments, etc, would be welcome. or you could just
tell me to go bugger off!
thanks!
