The Olympus OM cult

KidA · Mar 24, 2016

I don't have much experience with many camera systems, but I don't need to try all of them to know that the OM is fucking amazing. It covers soooooo much of what I need… and REALLY well.

I have the OM 28mm /2.8 and that is a very nice lens. Spec sheet says it is even a little bit lighter than the /3.5.
The OM 135mm /3.5 is light, very good sharpness even wide open.
This was taken at end of afternoon with the OM 135/3.5:

Another alternative to the 85mm is the 100mm /2.8.
Another fine lens.

How do you like the 28mm and the 135mm lens? I've been thinking about getting each for my OM-1 MD (currenty only have the 50mm f1.8). I recently inherited my grandpa's Pentax collection and he had a 28, 50 & 135. I've been shooting with the 28mm (on a P30t) and i'm really starting to like it. The throw for the focus is only 90 degrees and it's a slight shift from focusing from 5ft to infinity, which makes it great for the little bit of street photography that i do. Does the Zuiko 28 work in a similar fashion? I'd really like the 85mm for protraits, but the price is just to steep and i was thinking the 135mm might be a nice alternative.

A very nice and compact kit.

Love it! There's something magical about the feel of the OM series cameras. Now go out and shoot.
