First shots with the OM40.

[ianjmatt]

Not really for critique (might post them up in the relevant sections for that), really just to share - but if you want to comment please do! I have just put a couple of rolls through the OM40 for the first time. Really not happy with the quality of scanning by Jessops though - terrible resolution and hair and dust everywhere! Need to buy my own scanner.

Not touched a film camera for nigh on a decade (and for closer to 15 years for anything proper), so it was interesting (obviously no PP at all on them):

I love my OM40. Paired with a 35mm f2.8 is my favourite combination.

I like the colours in your posted images. What film did you use? So far I've tried Velvia 50, which I wasn't keen on and Ektar, which I liked. I fancy trying Portra next.

I've been looking at scanners but all of the choices seem to be disappointing or ridiculously expensive.

Welcome back to film and your shots remind me of my grand-children in that they look like them.

Funnily enough it was just a roll of the cheap Fujifilm 200 that come in bags of 5 rolls for £9 from Boots! I think the glass needs to take some of the credit. I forgot how nice the 50mm f1.8 was.

I know what you mean about scanners, but the costs of getting decent scans is so expensive I think it would be cheaper in the long run if I can find the cash.
