So _that_ is why I take hours on a photo foray and it only feels like
minutes. I got into trouble numerous times when living with the parentals,
because I was so absorbed I was always late back. It can still happen now, I
have a wife to pacify instead.

Just took the newly acquired OM-2S body out with a 50/1.4 MC and shot half a roll of Kodachrome 64. Going out again early tomorrow to finish that roll off . . . and the Ektachrome EPN in the OM-4 body . . . and the Tmax 100 in the Contax IIIa RF. The OM-2S has a very interesting shutter sound . . . something between the crisp, sharp OM-4 and soft shoop of the OM-1n mechanical . . . which must be the secondary mirror. Operates almost identically to the OM-4 in AE Mode and very close to the OM-1n and OM-4 in Manual Mode (except that it's spot metering only). Not certain if I can get into the Program Mode; too used to the OM-10 and OM-4 AE Mode and control it gives.

Knew exactly where I wanted to go and exactly what I wanted to shoot with it. Got home in about an hour and the "other half" was very shocked. She had expected I would be out until well after dark!
