some halfpenny varieties to oogle

[Fordprefect]

I'm a dinosaur from the Wet Film days.
My stable consists of Olympus and more Olympus
OM1 SLR
OM2 SLR
OM4 SLR
Plus a heap of lenses, both Zuiko and 2nd tier makers.
If I ever go DSLR maybe not sure the lenses may be
able to be fitted to the digital DSLR Olympus body.

all sounds good
yep i like the olympus too
i don't have an SLR but this one has 'Olympus’ TruePic image engine as used in high-end SLR cameras provides vibrant yet natural colours and clear detail' - so i guess that might be what you can see in my picture quality cheers rob
I'm goann hit the sack
anyways, still had the camera out and a little local dropped in, very friendly and quite the little poser - seemed really interested in the lens, so I tried my hand at bug close-ups, after feeling all inspired about the new camera!
we'd better put him out before we go to bed!
cheers robbie

I am so impressed by the photo work here. Well done. Just back into the collecting I have simply  been scanning stuff just for speed at the moment. Although I have learned a bit on that side too in the past couple of days. Like boosting the DPI for better results. Default setting is 150 dpi boost to 450 and a penny scans at 600x600 image. I have an Olympus SP-600UZ so I must learn how to set up and use the Macro and start using that for more individual work. I am learning so much on the forum here, a real new interest in life for me. Keep up the good work.

Hi Ron
I have learnt so much from coin forums - Markn taught me a lot about the light settings in the camera for photos and so on
The pistures load up huge here, whereas there is one other forum that I go to and the same pictures load up at well under a third of the size. Sorry about the giant pics! cheers rob
