Im looking to upgrade from my OM10 film camera to something that a bit better ...
Any of the single digit OMs will be an upgrade. It’s all 35mm though.
If you want to do bigger, more detailed prints from film really you want better scanning (I think wet scanning on a Flextight is still the ultimate but things may have changed). Slides (Velvia or Ektachrome) will enlarge with the least visible grain. If you’re doing darkroom printing then maybe slower film (Ektar, Delta 100 / Pan F), or bigger negs. Don’t forget developer types (and technique) for b&w vary hugely in grain size and acuity.
I’ve got totally satisfactory portraits from FP4 shot on a Mju II at A0. I can’t remember if that was wet scanned ... it probably was.

Im looking to upgrade from my OM10 film camera to something that a bit better, something a bit more powerful that gives a higher quality, sharper photo when I print picture bigger than 8x10" etc.
Been looking at a Contax G1. Any one got any experience with these or any other suggestions?
