My previous post "Another acquisition" detailed the trials and tribulations of my latest purchase, needless to say the seller followed up very swiftly with the replacement (original) camera after having it serviced at OM Doctor in Hamburg. A pretty much pristine example of the model, I cannot recommend the seller on eBay enough.
Anyway, I ran a roll of Fujifilm C200 through it to check it out. Subject Autumn colours. The Photos were all taken in Program mode, just to see how it worked, and were all taken in the Messehallen and Planten und Blomen Parks in Hamburg.
Fuji films have long been a favourite of mine, giving what I consider the most accurate colours and good saturation.
I have not used this lens for some time, and it does suffer a little from vignetting in the corners, which is actually not too unattractive or intrusive especially with crystal blue skies.
Since the camera was in program mode I am unable to quote exposure details, but judging from the speed the camera selected it was using exposures of f5.6 to f11.
I ended up doing the scans with my Epson V600 as VueScan seems to be misbehaving at the moment, cannot get reliable output from the software seems like the last software release is not up to snuff.
Camera: Olympus OM-40
Lens: Zuiko Auto-W, 24mm, f2.8
Film: Fujifilm C200 ISO 200
Processed: C-41 Fuji Frontier
Scanner: Epson Perfection V600 Photo, 48 bit colour, 3200dpi
Software: Epson Scan II, Affinity Photo 2.
A riot of autumnal colours!
