• 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?

  • There’s not going to be anything 35mm that’s going to be vastly better, Olympus lenses are fine.
    Most of the time when my photos aren’t sharp it’s because I haven’t kept the camera steady, or missed focus.

    You can use a tripod, shoot at f8, nail focus and use films like Ektar and TMax 100. Any or all will help to keep the photo sharp

    Alternatively shoot medium format whilst keeping the above in mind.

    Edit - If you’re still worried about Olympus glass not being sharp enough, check out Jane Bown’s work. She shot an OM-1 for a large part of her career doing celebrity portraits and didn’t seem to have a problem with sharpness
