Awesome shots man

The sound of the shutter is amazing. Best ever.

Oh yeah, the sound it makes is lovely.

The size of the Om2n is ridiculously small and that shutter sound and film advance are so crisp!

The Olympus OM-2N is a perfect street camera. Small, quiet and invisible.

Love your confidence just shooting random people on the street, and the photos speak for themselves! Great video.

Really enjoyed this episode, sometimes new equipment can spark the creative juices. You took me back a few decades when I sold OM cameras as a teen in my "Saturday job". I do like the addition of the photos to your blog, so we can enjoy them at leisure without scrolling back and forth through the video timeline. You instinctively know the 28mm focal length, several keepers from this first roll. And of course it wouldn't be an episode without you capturing one person asleep! You've got me debating whether to shoot Portra 160 or 400 today...

I have an OM1 & OM4 & I think the Olympus cameras are so under rated! I find them wonderful to shoot with. I have had Leica's & I truly prefer the Olympus cameras, the viewfinders are great! The lenses are very good & small. I also have the 50 1.8 & 28 f2.8. Waiting for the Mexico zine.

Thabk you Ted! Regarding a new zine there will be news coming soon!

I looked at an OM-1 at a flea market once and almost bought it... The viewfinder blew me away... a tiny little camera with such a tiny little prism bump - I never expected looking through it to feel like looking at an IMAX screen! It was amazing - super easy to focus too.

And the prism bulge is the smallest I know of, a bit pointy compared to other camera's, gives the viewfinder extremely thin "bezels"

I had an Olympus OM SLR back in the day. They’re absolutely boss.

One of the best street film cameras made. They made an affordable little 28mm f3.5 pancake-like lens that’s perfect for the streets. It’s no Leica but still lots of fun to shoot. I’ve compared the built in light meter with my Sony a1 as well as my Sekonic L-478-U and it definitely has one of the most accurate light meters made.

Allegedly, Olympus made their 28mm lenses in the f2 & f3,5 only. Only later, somwhere mis 80's did they created your Zuiko 28mm f2,8, which supposed to be wery sharp and is multicoated. My OM2sp which my late father bought for me is in dire need of CLE for years, so last year my daughter bought me an pristine OM1n for my birthday, so I'm rockig a film Olympus once again...

I bought my Minolta X-700 in that store. So good to see it again.

Nice choice , happy to see someone shooting an Olympus OM film camera . Please stick with it and looking forward to seen more Om photo walk's .. Happy snapping ..

I love my Om2n and the 50 1.8 is a fantastic lens.

Carmencita labs are amazing,great find,in the world of leica this olymmpus line is severely overlooked,great compact setups with almost no bad lenses.!!

The pics look great, congrats with your new camera 😄👍🏻

Camera came working out really good. Congrats! 😃👍🏼

It's my father camera. Is taking shots from 1976. Still perfectly working. I still use it. I am a true pentax guy, I have almost all the most important pentax cameras from every Era, but the MX. Because I have the OM-2 and it's concept is so similar to MX. I never needed an MX even if I have a tons of lens for the pentax system. I am impressed how you well exposed the shots. You really know how to use an old beauty like this camera. This is a great video. Thank you.

I use an OM10, those Zuiko lenses are absolutely incredible. Tack sharp and very bright, and my 28mm seems to never miss focus, its incredible. Great vid!

I had an all black Olympus Om2n. Best camera ever.

I inherited an OM2 several years ago and I love this camera for being so good and being very under-rated, HP5 is my favourite film with my Olympus even at box speed. I hope you have many fun times with your new OM2n and maybe even come to Scotland for a wee photography session.

Lovely video and nice camera find! Frankly I can’t stand shooting just people alone, now action shots of people doing something I’m ok with. The other I find just so intrusive, but that’s me..

Awesome video and Fantastic shots with the OM-2n. Really cool how the shots came out and they have that 3D pop to them on may of the shots. I love the OM-2n it's a fantastic camera, small, and lightweight with awesome Zuiko lenses for it. I bought mine 1yr ago and loved the Olympus system so much that I also got an OM-4Ti. Just 1 question, are you Zone focusing with the OM-2n? I see you taking a lot of quick shots and they are nicely focused. I have a hard time Zone focusing.

Thank you Jorge! Yes, I was using zone focusing. I'd love to get an OM3 Ti but those are a little bit too expensive. 😀

Been using the Olympus OM4 and the Zuiko 28mm 2.8 for the past 10 years or so…by far my favorite camera and lens combo

You had NO CHOICE! Neither did I years ago in Tokyo. I bought an OM2 (non N) years ago with a 501.8 and a 200f4.

I just found an Olympus OM10 and want to take it out for some street photos, how did you manage to get your subjects in focus so quickly? Any settings you’d recommend? I’m used to taking my lomo LCA for street photos so I never have to worry too much about manual focusing normally. Love your videos 😊

I'm waiting on a Zuiko 28mm f2 to arrive and pair with my om2 spot program for street photography. Zuikos are smaller than the average slr lenses. Mirror slap is the only real down side to the om series.

Is the camera brand new? Man not a single scratch on that body or lens it looks like. The image quality is beautiful, I've been considering Olympus for both analog and digital have heard nothing but good things from them. Lovely images, bendiciones hermano keep on shooting. 📸🇲🇽

For digital their lenses are great, but I greatly prefer the build, EVF, LCD, features, and menus of the Panasonic bodies… and they’re generally cheaper. AF speed and accuracy is the same regardless of what you read on the internet.

The "look" on these photos was unreal

Just wondered if you were intentionally 1/4 + of a stop on exposure comp, even at 50 iso? The dial looks to be set in that position. I also have an OM2n - one of my all time fave cameras. It’s a jewel.

"even with the loud slr shutter" - Not true. The shutter and mirrorbox on these OM-2n units is uniquely quite and virtually vibration free. They're truly special...

I started shooting film on Olympus but hated that there was no shutter or aperture info in the viewfinder :/

Nice shots Well analog photography is getting more expensive year after year Me my self I wish to shoot only film but it’s getting out of hand really expensive Even the Kodak gold 35 mm film price got higher Is it possible for you to talk about this topic and on how to do film photography with a tiny budget Thank you
