First scanned pics from my test roll (Olympus Pen F)











These are the first 16 scanned pics from my test roll (Formapan 400) Camera Olympus Pen F.

First test roll


I picked up the first test roll from the lab this week and my new camera is working. I was really happy with the results. The lens takes sharp pictures and the only thing that was not good. It was a mistake on my part and not the camera. On the last pictures I didn't use my light meter.

And I realize that this camera will be perfect for portraits which was my plan. I will scan and upload some of the pictures tomorrow.

Lenses manufactured for the Olympus Pen F System



I have started the hunt for another lens. The lens that came with the camera was the 38mm F1.8 and the list below is of what are available for the Pen F camera (info from Wikipedia). 

But I won't buy one until I see if the camera works and tomorrow I go to the lab with the first roll. So exciting to see how my "Diptychs" photographs turned out.
