These are just wonderful. I must say that I prefer the first one, since the fog is more prominent. But the second one is also lovely.

I really think mirrorless is the way to go. Did that Olympus camera have an exposure compensation ring? Mine does and it allows all sorts of changes before you take the photo. And you can see through the lens which means you are able to more directly control the picture you get.

Anyway, great work!

They're better viewed full size by clicking right and then click Open in New Tab and click on the new tab to open the full photo.

The camera was pretty basic and simple to use. No compensation ring or viewfinder, only a screen.

I'm sure Andy would know about yours. Wish I could ask him!

I'll check out the full size photos.

It's worth looking at. I remember Andy talking about these cameras. They were very popular and Olympus could hardly keep up with the demand, I think.

On edit: The Wikipedia article goes on to talk about the history of the camera. Fascinating stuff!

The lack of a viewfinder was the only thing I didn't like.

The camera was my daughter's. I'll see if she still owns it. She's had a number of camera's since then, one of which she gave to me last year, the Canon Rebel T5i.
