  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Olympus OM-1?

I am hoping to develop my monochrome conversion skills in Photoshop so I think I'll stay away from B&W, in the interest of saving money too, don't want to have to shoot two rolls of the same subject either... being cheap now but I have to for a while :usd:

I snapped a shot at 1sec shutter and it stayed open for like 20 seconds... ?? Is my 1 second setting broken?

And how do you use the B setting? I would really like to be able to get 30 seconds or more going for some night stuff.
 
as for scans you don't need to stick only with drum scans. Back in analog times we used huge Linotype-Hell (now Heildelberg) Topaz flatbed scanners which gave us best results. This scanner is able to keep sharp everythig what is within 0 - 20mm above surface of glass.
For best picture choose scanner with highest density (like 4D) and service or persons which know their job well - i.e. they don't touch film with bare hands etc.
 
I think you can open the shutter at 'B' for as long as you like. Just keep pressing the button. Haven't had really successful results on that though, as I don't have remote control over it..
 
I think the meter is shot... a very well lit subject perfectly exposed at 1/30th on my little point and shoot demands 1/4th on my OM-1... I don't think it is safe to go on without getting a reliable meter. :(

Henk, but I simply pressed it and let it go when it stayed open for ever..?

So many headaches and I haven't even started.
