LUND, SWEDEN. (March 2008). I live with nine roommates, which means a ready source of unwitting models. Here's one of Linda, my favourite Aussie. Sorry for the softness in the photo; I kind of front-focused my OM Zuiko 50mm f1.8. Three things I wish for: clearer eyesight, a better focusing screen, and Olympus providing focus confirmation for legacy OM Zuiko lenses. Maybe someday. Original photo properties: Olympus E-410 dSLR, OM Zuiko Auto-S 50mm f1.8 lens (100mm, 35mm equivalent), handheld, manual focus and exposure, centre-weighted metering, 1/30s f2.8, ISO 100, 3648 x 2736 pixels, RAW.

LUND, SWEDEN. (March 2008). I don't have a dedicated macro lens in my lineup so for the time being, the OM Zuiko 50mm f1.8 sees double-duty for assignments like this. Wide open, exposure can be a little quirky but the lens produces pictures with good sharpness and decent colour rendition, in my opinion. Picture available for sale as prints. Original photo properties: Olympus E-410 dSLR, OM Zuiko Auto-S 50mm f1.8 lens (100mm, 35mm equivalent), Manfrotto Tundra NGTT1 tripod, 5-second mirror lock-up, wireless remote control, manual focus and exposure via LiveView, matrix metering, 1/13s f1.8, ISO 100, 3108 x 2331 pixels (after crop), RAW.
