Time to introduce myself, having been "lurking" for a fortnight or so...

My first OM was an OM-10, bought for me when I was 14 (I think) as a birthday 
present. It went wrong, and I got an OM-1N to replace it (which I still have). 
Via various purchases, including recently on eBay (oh dear!) I have around a 
dozen Zuiko lenses plus an additional OM-2N (with which I am very impressed).

I understand it's protocol to post a few pictures. Please forgive me as I 
haven't actually got an artistic bone in my body. I'm fascinated by cameras 
from a technical perspective, though, and do (at least feel) I understand *how* 
to take photos, but framing arty ones is beyond me at the moment (though I'm 
keen to learn).

Anyway, here are some photos, simply scanned in, no cropping, no electronic 
jiggery-pokery. All taken on Fuji Superia (100 or 200) and printed by Club35 in 
London.

3 red hot pokers in our garden. 75-150 Zoom wide open to reduce DoF.

Bee on honey suckle. 35-105 Zoom on "close focus" setting ca. 55mm.

British Black cat. Can't remember which lens, but would guess 35mm F2. Clearly 
not open enough, though! But it's difficult to get the detail on black cats, 
and I think I did reasonably well.

Border Collie. Focus on dog. 75-150 at 150mm, to bring vegetation behind a bit 
closer; probably about F11.

Comments very welcome (I can take criticism well)!

Now that's out of the way, I've got some questions to follow shortly in other 
messages....

Thanks,

Simon Worby
