  And another!
I can see this becoming obsessive. Right - I still have a lot to learn about scanning, as the print of this photo far surpasses the scan. But it's a start. I took some photos of this area with the Nikon FE using the 35mm/F2.8 lens and with the Mju, which also has an F2.8 35mm lens. I've been just as happy with the photos of this area from the Mju as with those from the Nikon. Where was the photo taken? Point du Raz, Brittany - find Quimper on a map of western Brittany and look further west. P du R is at the tip of the nearby peninsula. Just south of the Baie des Trépassés, which translates as "the Bay of the Dead".



 
  We have pictures...
Right. Now that I have webspace again, here's some proof of how well a Mju can cope with a close-up. This is from a mural in a nearby street in Folkestone's Old Town.

  1 Mju, 500 rolls of film...
A self-portrait project, using a Mju. The Mju gave up after 500 rolls of film. Have a look.
 
About Mju-Mju...
Mostly a blog about using an Olympus Mju-II (aka Stylus Epic). It's pronounced "Myu, myu" by the way. Site Feed.

Mjuser Tips

Buy two: they're cheap.
Put 100iso in one and 800/1600iso in the other. Use the first by day and the other by night. It beats compromising on 400iso film everywhere.

Use extreme film.
The Mju can handle anything from 50iso - 3200iso.
Become a night owl.

There's a spotmeter.
Use it.

Switch the flash off.
Flash can turn your subject into a victim.
Sometimes the camera doesn't even need it.
Use fast film instead.

Try black and white.
You can now get b&w film that can be processed in colour labs.

Have it on you.
Keep chanting that one...

Take your time.
The Mju is so good that you can use it like an SLR.
So take your time and compose your shots properly.

It's behind you!
Remember to look behind you as you walk along.
You could be missing a great photo.

RTFM: read the f... ine manual.
There are things you won't find out if you don't.
See spotmeter above.
