Curiosity: Olympus OM-2 review at Kitamura

As you all know by now the film cameras are now trendy again. Many young people are now using film cameras to take images for multiple reasons: First of all many of those cameras are a real beauty and they do not age like digital stuff. The second is that by using film you get a consistent look without the puzzle of having to work on your digital files.

That’s why I see more and more of those film camera reviews like the one I am sharing today from Kitamura (google translated). The Olympus OM-2 (here one Bay) is truly a gorgeous camera!
