Olympus OM2 - 1st film in at least 20 years

[Paul Holtom]

Having not taken a roll of film in over 20 years and having always wanted an Olympus OM2 when I was younger decided it was time to put a few things right.

Picked up an OM2 and 50mm f1.8 via eBay popped in a roll of HP5 and headed out.

Some really nice images on your flickr there, Paul (we usually arrange for some to display inline in the thread, though). Hope you enjoy your new acquisition. You've got better results from HP5 than I ever do!

Love the first one. The walker really makes it.

Yep, the first one is great. Really suits B&W. Strong graphic image. Love it!

It reminds me of a space station in orbit
2001 a space odyssey
The solitary figure is quite evocative of the isolation and loneliness of life in space
