I like your pictures taken in the Netherlands, especially the
composition. Also it's nice to see the good results you obtained with
the 35-70mm/f4 zoom, since I also own one of those. IMHO, the Provia
shots seem clearer and having better colour balance than the others.
However, I note also that the Provia shots were the only ones taken
with the 35mm/f2 lens, of which I have no experience. Therefore, I
don't really know how much of the differences between your pics can be
attributed to the film and how much to the lens used.

I lost my 35-70 mm F4 in Guatemala (together with my OM4 and T20... :((( )
and replaced it with the 35-70 mm F3.5-4.5. Later on I bought the 35 mm F2
and I have also the 28-48 mm F4.
I find it very difficult to see the differences between these lenses. Only
under "ideal" situations you notice that pictures taken with the 35 mm F2 at
F8 or F11 have a better contrast. I never noticed any significant difference
in the colour balance between the lenses. But I do like the F2 more than the
zooms because of the extra F-stops. Especially the F4.5 zoom is not always
easy to focus, although it is a very nice little lens.
I like the 28-48 very much for indoor (flash) photography. Somehow it is not
very populair among this list, but I have never seen a competing wide angle
zoom with such a little distortion! It is very sharp too and easily competes
with the Zuiko 28 mm F2.8 (imho).

PS did I also replace the OM4? Nope. Bought an OM2n instead, but that was a
few years later.
Somehow, the OM4 never became my dream camera. What's wrong with me?
