Hi All,
Seeing as this list is discussing less and less OM material as time
goes by (ok,
so what's new? but we even have people like Ken talking about evil
Canon lenses
etc now) I thought I would share a couple of recent darkroom prints I
finally got
around to making this past weekend. As ever with these things, many of
these are "works
in progress" small prints that may be re-interpreted or discarded. But
some comments
and criticism would be appreciated - or otherwise, just sit back and
watch the show
of some honest-to-goodness analogue OM photography.
Yeah, I know there are a couple of you out there, but you guys never
post your work!
For a change, I am not going to post any textual write-ups, the images
will either
speak for themselves or they won't :-)

----------------------------------
As you can see, I have *really* been enjoying the 250/2 lens this past
year. I have so many negatives to
print from it, maybe one day I'll have time to print all the decent
ones... sigh...
And despite the (too?) shallow DOF at f/2.8, "Mousse (detail #2)" has
really impressed me with the detail
rendition of the 90 Macro at 1:2 distance. It's really quite a lens,
and mine is quite the beat-up copy
at that, with some crud (fine layer of dust or dirt) inside the lens.
Still, it impresses, that's for sure.
All the best to you all, and shoot some film in those OM cameras -
that's what they're made for!

loving them to bits in anyway)
