I like all of 'em. It could be my monitor, but I'd add just a splash more
brightness in Photoshop. Another option you might want to try is to use a
manual T20 or F-280 off to the right, set to fire underpowered. This will
soften some of the facial shaddows, but still give the impression of
left-side lighting. Will allow more facial detail to come through.
Wonderful OM protrait results nonetheless. If you REALLY want to see some
large prints though, you should try a MF TLR (Yashica, Rollei, etc...) or if
money were no object, a Hassy or close relative. Lighting won't improve,
but enlargements will look just a cut above. I rarely use my OM gear for
planned portrait sessions... just mostly candids.

I've placed them on a website for your perusal. This group has such
depth in experience and ability to articulate very useful commentary, I beg
your indulgence. If you'd care to look and provide constructive criticism,
