| I shot a week with a single lens - a 50mm on an Olympus slr from 1983. The old camera is like a jewel - it was designed and built in the final years of the mechanical era. The very next year, 1984, - the year of the seeing eye - saw the optical and mechanical perfection of the twentieth century supplanted with the malleability of the digital era. Here are those seven pictures:
As you can see, my camera broke while taking the sixth picture - well, that roll anyway. I sent the camera to http://www.zuiko.com/ to be repaired. The repair was a success. The camera has never been better. The last photograph, by the way, was taken with a D100 digital camera. The D100 is only six years old, and it's a couple generations behind already. |
