I had an Olympus OM1 back in the day. Great camera. Somewhere around 2003 I donated it to the photography program at a local technical school. They were begging for donations, especially manual cameras.
I'm not familiar with that camera. Did you drop the front or use rear rise or tip the whole thing forward and use parallel movements of the standards? Looks like some front swing too. If you are just starting in still life, good start. If you are an old pro, never mind.
I tipped the camera and used parallel movements, and yes some front swing has been applied. My first still life using a 4x5, I much prefer portraitureOriginally Posted by ic-racer

Man, that era of cameras sure had some nice models. I remember the ads, they always featured "small' bodies cause AE-1, F2's, all were gigantic compared.

nice photo, I sometimes wish that the ground glass on my 5x4 was as bright as the viewfinder on the om1
I bought a Pentax Spotmatic in 1971, another very compact camera. It survived a bicycle crash (lens needed new helicoid). I used it for years, photographing with Kodachrome 25 and Tri-X. After mercury batteries went away I modified and recalibrated the meter circuit so that it could run off a silver oxide cell. It still works great.
