Uhmm...true. I have a habit of usually sticking pretty close to the
exposure specified by the manufacturer (that is: I neither push or pull my
films on a regular basis). So I am on rather "thin ice" here..

The subjects are mainly from down-town New York (daytime), and while I
would prefer to have the film developed pretty close to "perfect", it is
not all that vital either: I routinely carry two cameras around, taking
pictures with both (although they have different lenses - 85mm and
24mm). So all photographic "memories" from the visit there wouldn't be
lost even in the worst case. But still...

Large format...not sure - in fact, I don't think so - at least I
have never heard of any. There was at some point some medium format
cameras (was it even for 127-films?) carrying the Olympus label. Although
I am almost cirtain that they were not manufactured by Olympus (but
someone are bound to know more than I on that subject).
