I recently acquired an Olympus OM-2n and purchased a few cheap OM Zuiko primes in its wake. Seemed a bit daft not to spend a tenner and get an adapter to use them on my Panasonic G2.
Thought I'd also add a bit of commentary about why I selected these shots.

OM 35mm f/2.8
Peering into the heart of the Richard Rogers skyscraper going up on Leadenhall Street, which is a magnificent piece of engineering. I like the way the light falls inside, while the gate is in shade, emphasising the frame-within-a-frame. The truck provides a sense of the scale of the structure.

OM 28mm f/3.5
A photo that's definitely about the light, crisply from the left hand side and then reflected off the buildings on the other side of the street in the glazing. Taxi in the shade helps establish it as a London scene.

OM 28mm f/3.5
Street scene with the main subject off the right hand side, then you discover the two figures in silhouette under the tree. Aiming for a 'shot on Ilford FP4' feel with the PP.

Found object. I was taken by the toplight bringing out the textures in the cardboard and tape.

Well, it's about that double yellow line leading your eye up into the scene - the arrows help confirm the direction you should be looking if you'd missed it. Wet road (it had been raining and was still drizzling a bit) makes the tarmac quite black, emphasising the contrast with the road markings. Talking of contrast, we get old and new buildings close up to each other.

Portent of things to come. London Bridge station is being rebuilt over the next few years and this is where it starts; a grey early morning. It was the gaggle of workers having a chat on the left hand side that made it for me.
