The 28mm f3.5 Zuiko is a fine lens. It’s on a par with the f2.8.
Here’s a page of Zuiko lens tests if anyone needs some bedtime reading.

Before you commit yourself, Norm, only fair to point out that the dominoes can get riotous up here.

I’ve been getting to grips with some Fomatone MG 133 - the velvet surface. It’s quite close to the old Record Rapid 119 lustre which was my favourite surface. The pebbly grain on the surface of the...

All good things come to an end. It’s a shock when people who just always seem to have been “there” - even if “there” is only on a website or forum - depart. Very sad.

It was a while ago I tackled it but I think it was isopropyl alcohol I used. As Norm says, apply a solvent and give it some time. I don't remember the rangefinder arm being difficult to remove so I...

Here’s a chart that Firstcall had on their website a few years back. It might help in some way. Like Richard, I seem to remember that Firstcall Superfine was the same developer as Rollei RHS.

The R8 got the “uglyflex” nickname as well, deservedly so. Mind you, I think a black SL2 looks great. Just a bit big for my liking.
