I've been having some difficulty lately using my OM-2n on interiors. With
the 24/2.8 set to 2.8, I'm getting exposures of 1/30sec or so. This is with
400 speed film pushed to 800. The first time was at the National Building
Museum, which at least appears to be well lit. They *did* have supplemental
lighting in the ceiling, and there were plenty of windows up above on that
bright and sunny day. The other time was just this past weekend at the B&O
Railroad museum, inside the Roundhouse. I had the film set to 800, expsoure
compensation to -1 for those very black steam engines, and a T-20. I never
once got a proper exposure. The red LED never flickered. It *does* work,
since I've seen it flicker before. The T-20 always did a full dump with the
24/2.8 set to f2.8. Either I need a T-32, or a 24/2.0, or both....It was a
bright and sunny day this time also. Weird. My eyes must be really good at
compensating for low light levels, since it seemed plenty bright to me. Oh
well....
Be seeing you.
