Olympus RC with Kodak Ektar 100
Since my first foray with the Olympus RC with some terrible film I have fed it some more delicious Kodak Ektar 100. And the results as expected are far better and give a good indication of the cameras ability. Shooting manually provides the control that allows the camera to shine. Lets be honest older exposure systems of this age are not that great but using the readings from an accurate meter (ie a digital camera histogram) allows you to select the best combination for the conditions. The five element 42mm lens is very good across the frame and is a terrific focal length to have in combination with another camera with something like a 28mm lens. It sits neatly between the more common 35mm and 50mm focal lengths and because of its small size it doesn’t take up much room.
