OM at the complete presents very top efficiency, for fairly little expenditure. You have one of the crucial quality gear to be had, however it is forgotten due to the fact that Pentax/Nikon have the backward compatibility, which Olympus does not. As a outcome, most effective rarities call for the top charges, models just like the 50mm f1.two, 21mm f2, 18mm f3.five, the quite a lot of excellent telephoto lenses. The 50mm f1.two is justifiably high priced, due to the fact that in which else will you uncover a f1.two lens utilizing a 49mm thread. As are the 21mm f2 and 18mm f3.five which whilst you suppose a similar Zeiss Distagon of the identical efficiency, is among £one thousand and £1300. Also take anything just like the 250mm f2, now in which have you ever noticeable a lens of that duration with that speedy aperture? Never? Olympus did make a few specialties, which call for top charges. The traditional 28/50/one hundred thirty five could be the mixture to base our assortment round. I could preclude the natural 28mm f3.five and 135mm f3.five as they are now not all that functional, whilst they are £20-50 every, it is simply now not what you wish out of a lens. The 28mm f2.eight and 135mm f2.eight are nonetheless fairly convenient to uncover, and now not too high priced (sub £one hundred should you appear). For the 50, I'd cross with the a million.four, however the a million.eight supply bigger corners vast open. You might get a 55mm f1.two, which has a 55mm clear out thread, which fits the 135mm f2.eight. With a majority of these lenses you must purchase the black variant of this lens, previous lenses had been made with chrome jewelry, and had been most effective unmarried lined. All-black lenses are more recent multi-lined ones, and appear extra functional too. If you do wish anything tremendously vast, Tokina made a 17mm f3.five at the OM mount which you'll purchase for round 10% of the fee of a OM 18mm f3.five, nevertheless the Tokina OM lenses also are a rarity this present day. In reality whatever wider than the 28mm is tough to uncover (and think me I've attempted). Macro is not anything I play with at the OM method, I've simply under no circumstances determined it is attraction. My macro package is all M42 mount, and I run it on EOS cameras. What I like approximately my 2n is that it is a black frame (which might be rarer), with all-black lenses, and a black strap appears very stylish, and man or woman. Try to get a frame which has well paint over all (now not pale), however with a mild quantity of brassing for individual. Avoid the silver ones as they only appear infantile this present day. Whilst my OM-two SP is a customized ready object with a 3V CR123 battery holder/hand grip, in order that appears beautiful particular. For remedy I most effective ever use the vast neck straps. My scanner is my Canon 1Ds mark II, it is a unusual setup however works for me. Most men and women will choose a descent Epson or Canon movie scanner, which bills round £two hundred-500 for a mid variety mannequin. Edit - Forgot so as to add, the zoom lenses to be had for the Olympus OM method are all as an alternative disappointing. However there are a few well 3rd get together primes to be had, such because the Vivitar Series a million, Tamron Adaptall/Adaptall II amongts different much less good recognized lenses.
