Olympus OM-10

Since I got my Olympus E-P1, I've been trying to actually learn how to use it properly, and I thought a good way to learn would be to get an old SLR and learn everything the old-skool way. To that end I bought an 1980s Olympus OM10 (only £10 on eBay), and have been steadily amassing a small collection of lenses to play with. The bonus is all the lenses can also be used on my E-P1 with an adapter so it's a pretty cost-effective way of trying some new things out.

Here are some snaps from my first two rolls with the OM10:




These are from the Maker Difference Pop-up Letterpress Studio in Carnaby. They have a real old-skool letterpress setup going on, and were also running workshops (sadly they filled up before I could book).


My local cinema - I love how retro it looks, and it's lovely and plush inside, too.

Clissold Park up in my old neck of the woods, Stoke Newington. Definitely turning to autumn by the look of the leaves.

Finally here are a couple of pics from the E-P1 with an old Olympus 50mm f1.8 lens. I like this lens so much it's become my default. I like how it makes the digital photos look more filmic, and it's very good for indoors low-light shots.
