I have used it very little over the last dozen years, but recently did inorder to mount the 21f2 - which is an amazing lens in terms of speed, relatively quality, and ability to focus to less than 10 inches....The OM series is in some ways the real Leica SLR - or what the Leica SLRs should have been.

I use it LIBERALly and after ELECTING to upgrade the lenses recently I have ruined my DOMESTIC ECONOMY. This is my latest effort. I was going to be REVOLUTIONary and use infra-RED film but opted for CNN400 (sp). The SHOT is my usual stuff, BUSHes, trees, birds SITTING ON THE FENCE and a GRASSY KNOLL. I removed a PINK-Orange tinge after seeing a DEMO of the technique. Was I RIGHT to do so or should I have LEFT it alone? http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/o09.html --Graham _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
