While I've mostly focused on pinhole work over the past couple weeks the Olympus 35RC also rode along in a jacket pocket.
The film in the Olympus was Arista Ultra Edu 200, which I shot at 100 ASA with the intention of development in PMK Pyro for the best tonalities and grain.
The roll of Arista included a series of hipshots made on a busy Saturday morning in Old Town.
The diminutive size and quiet shutter of the Olympus 35RC make it the ideal camera for street work, but it would have been better in this instance to have loaded some faster film which allows better depth of field and faster motion stopping shutter speeds. In the past my go-to film for this task was Tri-X. I'm thinking now that it would be interesting to try pushing the Arista 200 in development to 400 ASA or faster, perhaps in HC110.
