Olympus OM-2n another try

I tried the Olympus once more, I had a 1600 ASA colour film that expired 6 months ago so I gave it a try.

My camera has a 50mm f/1.4 Zuiko lens that is suitable for low light photography. There is an accurate built-in lightmeter and a good viewfinder so aperture priority mode is very easy to use.
Unfortunately the wide open shots came out very soft, with the lens stopped down sharpness increases.

Here are some samples

Canonet QL 17, a damaged jewel...

Some photos of the camera. It is damaged and non working. A great camera though...




Olympus Trip AF 51, basic camera - excellent photos

This is a very simple snapshot camera.
 The lens is a 28mm with an aperture of f 5.6 - 8 ?




Shutter speed seems fixed at around 1/100 th sec. There is an autofocus system, the flash fires automatically and there is a self timer button on the upper. That's all, a very simple camera just press the shutter button.

I put an 200 ASA film in the camera, film speed id recognized automatically. Here are some samples:

Lomo LC-A with black and white film

I put a roll of Ilford XP2 400 ASA film in the Lomo LC-A. The film is processed in color CN 41 chemical in the one hour labs


Results were horrible! I don't know what happened, the film was under or over exposed, lots of vignetting light leaks and low contrast.
