35Mm Film Olympus Cameras

I'm an old-school 35mm film kind of guy, but eventually graduated to digital about 10 years ago. I've found the miniature point & shoots are capable of producing great results for every day shots and when travelling, but, of course, typically lack the ability to be creative. When the Micro Four Third cameras gained more popularity with semi-professionals and serious amatuers, I loved the idea of acquiring a compact camera with manual controls, a relatively large sensor, capable of using interchangeable lenses. Initially, I planned on buying a Panasonic GF-1, but when it was discontined (what a huge blunder that was), I looked more seriously at the Olympus line-up. With the added refinements and new features the E-PL2 offers over the E-PL1, it was a no-brainer. I've had it just a week and am still reading the manual every night -- trying to get a grip on the incredible capabilities of this camera. I'm heading to Honolulu in 3 weeks and can't wait to use it there. The engineers at Olympus have done a magnificent job in terms of style, design, control layout, and overall build quality. Buying the E-PL2 was one of the smartes purchases I've ever made.

Got this hood for my 49mm lens that I (still) use on my Olympus OM-1 35mm SLR film camera.� Fit & finish is great & works just fine.

I've always loved Olympus. From my Pen EE to my OM-2 film cameras and now this OM-D E-M5 Mark III, Olympus has always been my preference. This camera is light and easy to handle. It's packed with features that make it easy to use. In my opinion this is the best camera for non-professionals at an intermediate to advanced level.

So I have mostly been shooting film my career but with my lifestyle it has become too cumbersome to shoot film all the live long day. However new Mirrorless cameras are too expensive and DSLRs too bulky for my tastes. Enter Olympus. I had known about Olympus and their high quality, compact film cameras, but had never thought about their digital line. This camera may have eh ish specs on paper due to it's M43 sensor and all but don't let that fool you. This camera is any highly mobile photographer's dream. Ultra-Sharp budget lens options. The EXACT size of my old OMF/OM-30 film SLR and just a joy to use with its tactile controls. The menus and modes took a little getting used to; but honestly it took maybe a day? Anyway This thing is weather sealed with a weather-sealed PRO line lens in the kit. At the price I paid (1300USD) it was an absolute steal. And I haven't even gotten into the 4K video yet with my use case.

I have taken photographs for over 50 years with 35mm film cameras, Canon digital cameras, a medium format RB 67 and a 5x7 Deardorff. The combination of this lens on the Leica M10 Monochrome produces images that rival a 5x7 camera, and you can carry it in one hand. Once you see the sharpness and contrast from this lens you are spoiled and other camera / lens systems seem just a bit off. Warning: whenever you're using your other camera systems you'll be wondering how much better the image could be with this lens.

Very well made. I have two of these. I just leave them on the cameras and then screw the lens in just like you would on a 35mm film camera that takes any M-42 threaded lens. I shoot all my digital and film stills with my older Takumars from the late 1960s to early 1970s.

Has been my go-to B&W film for all my 35mm cameras. consistent results with great contrast and fine grain. Just love the look of the resulting images..

This is used on my carbon fiber tripod for DSLRs and 35mm film cameras. I may use it for my RB-67 also. I have enjoyed the stick grip on my monopod and this is a great performer so far. It is a bit heavy on the carbon fiber tripod and makes the assembly a bit top heavy, but has caused no issues yet.

As others have noted, this is Ektachrome 5294 movie film, spooled in to cassettes, for 35mm still cameras. It has great color, and saturation, as well pleasing skin tones. Like its sold by Kodak Alaris counterpart, it is a great all around film. I use it for all occasions, both in the studio, and outdoors. Since it is a movie film, it doesn't have frame numbers along the edges; not a big deal, just something to note.

Ektar 100 is among the best 35mm films available today. It is a very fine grained film which produces super sharp images. I love the deep color saturation and contrast as well. I disagree with the review that states that Ektar doesn't do well at night as I use it pretty routinely for night photos with great results. I don't consider Reala to be in the same class as Ektar. I also find it very forgiving as I have exposed it at ASA 400 and still got acceptable results. The colors went super-saturated though. This film is great for strobist work and product shots due to it's sharpness. I think it is great for portraits as well even though you probably would benefit from softening the sharpness down some. I've compared results to a D7000, D300 and other digital cameras and they still aren't on par with Ektar. I also appreciate how flat it lays on my Epson V700 scanner; very well behaved! I use this film a lot on several different film cameras and lens combinations. I have several examples on my flickr page: username greauxe then search for ektar from my photostream
