Analog throwback: Olympus 35 RD (Review & Sample Photos)

Analog Insights:

In this video, I review the Olympus RD 35, a beautiful camera from the 1970s that features a fixed 40mm f/1.7 Zuiko lens, automatic exposure, and rangefinder focusing. The Olympus 35 RD is well-suited for street photography, traveling, and capturing special moments around family and friends. Jules and I took the camera out on a photo walk through Munich shooting two rolls of Rollei RPX 400 to test it. Watch the video to learn about our findings and thoughts.

Robin Wong: Olympus 9-18mm F4-5.6 – Wide, Tiny & Super Sharp

Robin Wong:

I managed to loan the M.Zuiko 9-18mm F4-5.6 from Olympus Malaysia too and it was super fun shooting at the extreme end of the spectrum, going all wide after my previous video of me doing everything at super telephoto zoom coverage. Roaming the Kuala Lumpur streets with the M.Zuiko 9-18mm on an afternoon with beautiful sky was a treat, and I did a mini review of this lens. I particularly love that the lens is so compact, so light (155g only) yet delivering superbly sharp results. This is what a Micro Four Thirds lens is!

Analog throwback: Olympus OM-4 Ti Review

Analog Insights:

In this video, Jules and I review the Olympus OM-4 Ti. The camera is famous for its advanced electronics and multi-spot metering system, shutter speeds of up to 1/2000s with full flash synchronization, and its great build quality.
We took the OM-4 Ti on a photo walk in Augsburg and I used the camera for two different portrait sessions in Salzburg and Munich. Of course, we also tried different lenses and various accessories. Take a look at our findings.
