Title:	Justifying all this stuff
Gear used:	OM-2S with 24/2 and T32 plus an OM-4 with 100/2
Diaphragm:	f 16
Shutter speed:	1/60 (X Synch)
Film used:	Portra 400NC
Technical information:	I rested the OM-4 with 100/2 at the edge of a table (I only have 1 tripod), the 100/2 was propped up slightly by a small paperback. I refocused the OM-4 using my wife as a model. The 24/2, mounted on the OM-2S (on my Slik U212 tripod), was brought within about an inch of the viewfinder of the OM-4. Focus was set to about 1 m, the apparent viewing distance of the OM-4 screen (I had a 2-4 installed in the OM-4, you can see the spot metering circle in the finder). The T-32 was mounted in the hot shoe of the OM-2S, and had a Stofen Omnibounce installed. I'm hoping this exercise will now convince my wife that I need two bodies and two lenses to take a picture, so I need to get double the stuff!

Cool idea, nicely executed, and a great trick to justify buying more Olympus gear :)
