<p>Thank you John! I will probably take you up on that sometime, I just started my first dark room class so I am getting into the nitty gritty!</p>

<p>Does anyone know where to find lens caps for Zuiko lenses? I have followed some DIY tutorials to make my own cardboard caps, but they fall off so easily and I just end up losing them all. A few lenses I have don't have caps and I've tried a bunch of random ones but alas, no fit :(</p>
-
So the sigma version is not a good
option? So far I have only seen the
Zuikos for over $700 and there isn't a
big camera community where I live
(Jacksonville, Fl) so I suppose I will just
have to keep my eye out! Do you have
any pictures to share using your
fisheye? Thanks for yalls responses!
-
I would much rather have the 16mm
full frame, but if there were a cheap
alternative for either I'd take it. I have
had little toy fisheyes before and do
enjoy them, so it isn't about whether or
not I want fisheye, but if there is
something less than $700 out there
perhaps with the OM mount.
-
<p>Is this a legit option?</p>

<p>I have been reading a lot about the OM lenses since I've acquired my OM1n. I am most interested in the fisheye lenses right now, and have read about two different ones, the full frame 16mm/3.5 and the circular 8mm/2.8. After looking around online, mostly ebay, I have noticed that neither of these lenses sell for less than $700. That's a pretty penny! I searched around photo.net posts and read, in a few different places, about other fisheye lenses with OM mounts. Some were built at home and others possibly sold with them. There weren't any specific mentions as to which lens I could search for that would guarantee an OM fit, so now figured I should ask the community.<br>
What are some decent, and cheaper, alternatives for an OM fisheye lens?</p>

<p>@George... I have got a fantastic water/dust/shockproof Panasonic Lumix that I bring everywhere for its wonderful picture quality and convenience. It pretty much has me covered in any situation, but I like to also sacrifice space and weight for some classic photos as well, which is why I have also lugged around Polaroid Land cameras to various places literally over my shoulder along with a backpack and front pack. The Olympus is just a much more rugged and smaller version of that for me, though I know myself and will probably end up carrying around all 3 cameras because every shot is totally worth it to me! Haha!</p>

<p>I just recently acquired an Olympus OM1n and I'm already head over heels! May I ask what site?</p>
-
<p>I still learned a great deal from everyone, though! Things to keep an eye out for in the future ;] What's funny is somehow I ended up (through google) on another forum post with a similar problem as the topic, and someone had mentioned they had (twice) ended up with a filter attached to a purchased lens. Why I didn't think to check my own is beyond me!!</p>
-
OK everybody! I found someone local
to look at it and I am laughing my ass
off because it turns out there was a
close-up filter on it the whole time and I
hadn't even noticed. I guess I got a free
one attached to the camera when I
purchased it!

<p>Chris - what if there are no screws on the outside of the barrel of the lens, like on the 50mm 1.8? There are some on the inner silver ring that connects to the body of the camera. The barrel will rotate to what it says infinity, but nothing will line up in the center of the viewfinder, it is always split.</p>
-
<p>THANK YOU Chris & Jim!!</p>
-
<p>Hosteen - Thank you! That is me in the picture, but obviously provided by someone else :)<br>
Mike - I haven't learned to develop my own yet, but looking forward to the possibility of learning how! I have been using land cameras 100 & 450 with Fuji film I get from B&H. I haven't heard about sheet film though, now I am intrigued!</p>

<p>This is a photo I took while backpacking in Cinque Terre, Italy!<br>

<p>Wow thank you for all of the responses! This is fantastic!</p>
<p>Gerry - I have read a few times about sending your camera and lens off to be checked out, so perhaps when I have some extra cash I'll do that. I found it in a thrift store so I wasn't sure if it even worked at all, but was glad to see that it did. I haven't looked into the Leica's much yet since this camera was an impulse buy, but it has got me interested in looking further into the world of film! I haven't got the cash for an expensive digital cam, and my Panasonic Lumix waterproof/shock proof is my go-to for digital travel since I have broken every other digital camera I have ever owned!</p>
<p>Stephen - I will have to look more into the diopter lens, I never thought of that being an issue before. I will have to see how they turn out on this next roll to tell if it's an eye issue or not, for I tried setting the camera on a flat surface for a couple distance shots just to see if it was a movement issue.</p>
<p>John - I have seen the name John Hermanson a few times now, I checked out his initial prices online, so maybe I will send mine off to him once I get tired enough to let the camera go for such a long period of time (I think the site said 10-12 weeks!). Also next time I am down south I have a couple professional photographer friends that only shoot film, I will probably hand it over and let them snap some shots for me!</p>
<p>Chris - Did you send your lens off to be fixed? Or was it something you adjusted yourself?</p>
<p>Howard - I hardly have any technical knowledge of this stuff whatsoever, I am fresh off the boat. I'm still learning how the camera works and why it does what it does. I am hoping to take a few photography classes so I can get a better understanding of everything. I have so many questions I am always searching online, but sometimes it can be overwhelming!</p>
<p>Thank you all so much for your comments and help!</p>

<p>Hi yall ^_^<br>
My name is Jess, and this past year I have decided to dive into the world of soul stealing. I have always played with regular point & shoots but seem to break them all. A year or so ago I started picking up Polaroid Land cameras at thrift stores and estate sales and have spent some time lugging them around on my travels, capturing the world on a Polaroid! NOW I am dabbing in older 35mm cameras for their rustic abilities and convenience (well, compared to polaroid!).<br>
Still learning every day, and hoping this community can help! I do have a few photos in my gallery for your viewing pleasure ;)</p><div>
</div> -
<p>Howard - when I rotate the lens I can easily focus on objects close in range, but everything far away is out of focus, I had someone else look through it that owns a Canon A1 and said as long as I have it on "infinity" then those distance shots will come out focused. Also I had only used the 50mm lens with that roll, the other one is fairly large and heavy so I was hoping to get the hang of that one.</p>
<p>Luis - I am not sure what you mean by the dense negatives, still new at this ^_^ .. also I did use the meter for all of the first roll's shots, I am not sure if it's accurate, I don't own a separate one but I guess I should look into it!</p>
<p>Stephen - I wear contacts :)</p>
<p>Here are examples (sorry I don't own a scanner, student budgets ;) please excuse the reflections)<br>
This is the very first photo I took, indoors & with the light meter...<br>

Out of focus, but through the viewfinder
I am unable to focus the far away shots
anyhow and figured the focus was
mainly for close-ups so I shot away.
I was not using a tripod but just
pointing and shooting. I believe it was
older Kodak film 400 b&w.. a friend
gave me a bunch of older film to
practice with, and it was the middle of
the day with plenty of sun, maybe
slightly cloudy for all of the distance
shots.
Thank you for the response & the recs,
are there any particular reasons why
you are fond of those lenses?

<p>Greetings & Salutations!<br>
New to photo.net and I recently acquired an Olympus OM1(n) camera. I have always been interested in photography but not so much the digital side. I'm used to shooting with Polaroid Land cameras (there isn't much skill needed) and wanted to branch out to an old 35mm!<br>
With the Olympus I also received a Zuiko 50mm 1.8 lens, a Vivitar Automatic Tele Converter 2x, and a Vivitar 75-205mm 3.8 lens. I have only shot one roll of film so far with the 50mm, and was oh-so-pleasantly surprised with how beautiful some of the indoor-close up shots turned out. The outdoor-close ups came out a little more grainy, but my real concern is with the scenery shots. Every one of them came out blurry. Is it because I need a tripod and it cannot be a handheld shot? Or do I need to opt for a different lens?<br>
<br />I love to travel and have taken most of my bigger scenery shots with my Polaroid Land 450 while backpacking, but am super excited to switch over to a much lighter and more versatile camera. Any advice on this (or anything with the OM1 for that matter) would be fantastic. If you have any recommendations on what lenses I should keep a lookout for, that would be best for wide scenery shots, I would love that as well!<br>
<br />Thank ya thank ya - Jess</p>
