#om-2sp

Last year I continued shooting film for a fun and finally I found the perfect camera for me: Olympus OM-2SP. Somehow it feels really familiar as I am using Olympus OM-D E-5M as my digital camera but in addition it fits my hands even better.

The build quality of this camera is solid and using it is a breeze. In addition meter seems to be working way better than in cameras that are this old.

I only have couple of lenses for it 50/1.8, 28/3.5 and 35/2.8. I’m not that big fan of the 28mm but otherwise those lenses seem to be pretty solid. I think I should go and get one of the 135mm lenses not sure which one yet.

In general it seems to have something that the modern E-5M is missing. Although the II version of the E-5M feels somewhat  better than the old one.

First real test for that camera was when I decided to take it to the Crete, Greece and shoot color film. Generally I have mostly used black and white film with analog cameras because it is frankly just easier and I can develop it myself.

Eeva at the old town. Film in this picture is Cinestill Daylight xpro C41. It is rare but kinda nice film. I think it works best in situations like this where there is shade and people.

Snail. This is still in the Cinestill. Works actually pretty nicely here.

Elafonisi beach. Film here is Kodak Gold 200 which I actually bough just because it was cheap.

Beach at Agia Marina. Here I used Kodak Portra 160.
