Niagara on the Lake Sort of Off Season Part One.
My friend John Meadows put together a creative retreat weekend in Niagara on the Lake with a few mutual friends back in late November. Initially I was on board for the whole weekend but family circumstances cut that down to a day trip, this year. Stuff I can't control but metaphorically roll with the punches so to speak.
I made the decsion to roll with a compact kit, and that was my Olympus OM-1n with a couple of lenses. For those keeping track this camera's meter has gone kapaut for all intents and purposes so I rolled with a Sekonic L398a meter and Ultrafine Extreme 400 as my film. I'm the only member of the Classic Camera Revival to shoot Olympus OM (for now), it is a niche system but the end results are beautiful regardless if you're shooting colour or black and white.
Handheld metering really isn't all that hard so I'm not in a huge rush to get the OM-1n repaired. I will, at some point because before the meter pooped out, it was very accurate. Maybe in the new year.
Camera: Olympus OM-1n, Zuiko S chrome nose 50 f1.8 lens, MC Zuiko 24 f2.8 lens.
Film: Ultrafine Extreme 400, HC110 B.
