New gear - Happy Saturday























Yay !!!!!!!!!!

New Olympus OM-20, complete with a Zuiko 50mm f1.8 from eBay. Meter works, shutter's accurate, camera generally clean :D Lens is perfect, like new

Half past 10, dash to New Street, hop on the train to Leamington Spa. Walk to LCE (London camera exchange). Pick up another rare OM beauty, OM-2 SP. Not many people are aware of this particular camera, it's a OM-2 that I knew and love, just a bit more fancy, and more 1980-ish. But it's mint, it's black and it's lovely. The best part of all ? It's coupled with the gem of OM system, a Zuiko 50mm f2 Macro.It is *supposedly* on par, only lacking behind wide open, with the Leica Summicron-M 50mm f2. I'll put some roll through them shortly and see how it goes :D

The pics are of the 50mm F2
