Dan describes his experience of going to see The Pixies with John Fedele at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, NJ. Lost cell phones, wallet and driving the 1987 “Grey Ghost” (Chrysler 5th Avenue) didn’t stop Dan from taking some excellent pictures with his Olympus Stylus Epic.

"Thanks for sharing the Olympus love on Episode 50! From the Stylus Epic shots of the Pixies to the Pen EE 3 giveaway, this podcast was sheer Olympus bliss. There was a whole series of "Pen EE" cameras with slight variations among the different models. Mine is a Pen EE S which is a zone focus half-frame camera that does in fact feel like a baby brother to the cult favorite Trip 35. As Dan mentioned, Olympus also offered a great lineup of solid rangefinders in the late 60s and 70s. The 35-RC was a compact rangefinder with a 5 element f2.8 lens and nice ergonomics. The 35-RD (and its automatic exposure sibling 35-DC) offered a sweet six element f1.7 Zuiko lens in a compact body. This is my shooter of choice for museums and other spaces where available light is low and I don't want to lug around a big rig. But for me, the Mac Daddy of all the Olympus rangefinders is the 35 SP, introduced in 1969. This beast is bigger than the other rangefinders, but it sports a 7 element f1.7 Zuiko lens that is a joy to shoot. Throw in spot metering ability and a metered manual mode and this one is hard to beat. I've attached a couple of pics to show the size relationships between some of the different Olympus models, including the tiny XA rangefinder in black and the FPP favorite Stylus Epic. The OM-2 (bottom right) is a dependable SLR included for scale and the 35EC (top left) is a great little zone focus model perfect for street shooting."
Thanks again,
Dave Mihaly
