Zim 28mm

Grabbed my beat up OM-1n off the shelf this afternoon just for the hell of it. Normally I shoot using a 50mm lens, as I just don’t get along well with anything wider. The OM had a 28mm Zuiko attached to it so I left it alone and burned through a quick roll in the yard. It’s such a fun camera, and the viewfinder is so good that the 28mm didn’t feel as “way too wide” as it does when using a rangefinder. Now I’m thinking about trying the 28 for a while and see if I can get my head around it.
