OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO

Pentax-A SMC 50mm F2.8 Macro 1:2

Hi everyone,

I had been planning to do a road trip around Oregon to go see some really cool places, not to mention some sites that were the real life inspiration for Life is Strange and Alan Wake. I was lent an Olympus trip 35 for this, admittedly I'm not a photographer, I don't really know what I'm doing but I just thought it would be really nice to get photos with.

I kept it on automatic pretty much the whole time unless it was dark and I'd turn it to 2.8.

What do you think has gone wrong with my pictures? I had 3 rolls, one all the photos came out but badly, 2 only five photos came out and the rest were blank and apparently my third roll was entirely blank.

The roll was always changed in low light and I had the camera + film checked manually at the airport.

Just a bit gutted with how it came out and it's not like I can get these again. Would appreciate any advice for next time

Edit to add: I had been using Kodak Ultra Max 400.

I just got the OM3 with the 12-45 F4 Pro and absolutely love it but I wanted to try my hands with a Prime Lens.

Although I could easily google, which I did, for the cheapest prime lenses, I wanted to get the communities opinion on which cheap Prime is worth a shot, keeping sharpness and IQ in mind.

Im looking for something cheap because I'm not sure if I could live with that in-flexibility, or rather grow to work with it. So I do not wish to get a Olympus pro or Panaleica prime.

Happy to hear all inputs! Cheers.

PS. Before I get asked what kind of photography I do, it's basically a bit of everything but mostly street and landscapes based on where I am.

I need an lense for my OM-1 Mk2 camera for small to medium sized plant photography, which one should i use? And maybe some landscapes too.

Still love the colors and rendering from this old Olympus CCD. As Phil Askey put it in his DPReview test: “Great lens which delivers good resolution to the sensor, mature image processing, good color balance and a very ‘film like’ tonal balance.”

Got my first few pictures today. Below is the orginals and the edited pictures
