Can you tell I like Olympus?

In all seriousness though, I obtained this little powerhouse for three reasons:

  1. This is a half-frame camera, which gives me at least 72 exposures in one standard roll of film

  2. The price is right! These often overlooked cameras go for a decent price on the second-hand marked. Just because influencers aren’t telling you that these are must-haves does not mean that they are not worthy of your attention

  3. It’s fully mechanical. And it even has a light meter onboard. However, the light meter is powered by the sun. Therefore, on gloomy days, I recommend using a light meter unless you already know your exposure very well

So far I’ve only used it once to test it out and it worked flawlessly. I know once Spring and Summertime come back around, I will be taking this little guy with me. Its size is great as well.
