[OM] F2 Zuikos + Ilford Pan F = Happiness

I am having a ball shooting my favourite film (Ilford  Pan F) which my  
photographic supplies store *finally* got in stock after years of  
begging. Pan F fits in so well with my photographic process, I  
absolutely love working with the negatives in the darkroom (even if  
Pan F is a bit finicky).

I had a blast shooting the Zuikos wide open over the past week-end.  
The 21/2 has great character wide open, and surprising resolution over  
60% of the frame (the corners have lots and lots of coma at f/2.0  
though). The 250/2 is a magnificent tool. Even on Pan F, it resolves  
down to grain level right in the corners at f/2.0, and definitely has  
some of the same look ("internal subject illumination"?) as seen on  
the 90/2.0. Here are some (all shot with the OM-3Ti, which desperately  
needs a service as soon as I get it over my heart to send it across  
the Atlantic to John):

Anyway, I shot and processed two rolls of Pan F last week-end, but  
these are some of the ones I have had time
to print/scan. My wife and I just decided to take a weekend-long  
drive, and saw many interesting places. Been
a while since I've done that.
