                                        On many edges - leadership development - Big Data - social development (children's education) - photographer - marketing - customer first. Olympus 35RC – another film gem. The Olympus 35RC first went on sale in 1970, one of a series of cameras that built on the breakthroughs of the Pen family, with auto exposure (EE). You can easily get the Wein PX625 zinc-air replacement battery on Amazon, by the way. All shots taken with Kodak Portra 400. Pentax KX is a wow, just as in 1976. I was lucky enough to use t...

                                        White Balance on the Leica Q. I am “guilty” of using auto WB almost all the time on my cameras. And the Leica Q is no exception. I really enjoy the colour rendering of the Q’s sensor and processor, and find that Lightroom is the best way to adjust the WB (of course, I shoot RAW). First, the original “as shot”, with some post processing for contrast but no WB adjustment. Temperature is 3250. Personally, I prefer number 2 – the automated Lightroom adjusted version, which seems to be better balanced.

                                        Olympus 35RC – another film gem. The Olympus 35RC first went on sale in 1970, one of a series of cameras that built on the breakthroughs of the Pen family, with auto exposure (EE). It’s a beautiful camera, to look at, to hold and to use. Simple, with a sharp 42mm F/2.8 lens. The camera has nicely smooth and precise rangefinder focussing, though the focus spot is a little on the dim side. Close focus is 0.3m. You can easily get the Wein PX625 zinc-air replacement battery on Amazon, by the way.
