Some Site Changes are Incoming

Posted on December 14, 2018December 17, 2018 by Jordan Steele

This is just a heads up on what’s going on with the site at the moment.   Over the next few days to a week, you’ll likely see some visual changes to the site.  Admiring Light has basically looked the same since I launched the site in 2012, and frankly, I think it’s gotten a bit…

New Gear at Photokina

Posted on September 24, 2016October 1, 2016 by Jordan Steele

As you’ve probably discovered, I was unable to attend Photokina this year, which I was quite upset about, as I had an absolute blast there two years ago.  I also love being able to visit Germany when ever I can.  However, I still think it’s worth looking at some of the new gear that was…

PhotoPlus Tidbits and Roundup

Posted on October 25, 2015October 25, 2015 by Jordan Steele

PhotoPlus Expo 2015 has come to a close, and I’m back home after a nice trip to New York.  Here I’m going to discuss a few of the other things I saw at the show as well as round-up the show a bit. There were some nice things at the show, but overall, I have…

Hands-On: DxO One

Posted on October 24, 2015 by Jordan Steele

It’s not a mirrorless camera, nor from one of the big players, but the DxO One, DxO’s first foray into hardware, is an intriguing entry to the photographic market. DxO figures that you bring your smartphone with you everywhere anyway, and sometimes you want better quality than a smartphone can provide, but you also don’t…

PhotoPlus: Olympus and Panasonic Booths

Posted on October 23, 2015 by Jordan Steele

If you’ve been following my PhotoPlus articles so far, you may note that this post doesn’t headline with ‘Hands-On’.  I did handle some Olympus and Panasonic gear, and I’ll discuss, but frankly, neither Panasonic nor Olympus had any truly new products to try out this year.  A rather hum-drum PhotoPlus from the two Micro 4/3 makers….

Posted on October 22, 2015 by Jordan Steele

I happend upon the Mitakon booth on my way out of PhotoPlus for the day, and saw the newly announced limited edition 135mm f/1.4, and just had to stop.  Along the way, I tried out two other new ultra-fast prime lenses for E-mount and Micro 4/3. Mitakon 135mm f/1.4 This lens, the fastest 135mm available,…

Hands-On: Leica Booth: Leica SL and Leica Q

Posted on October 22, 2015October 23, 2015 by Jordan Steele

Continuing my coverage from day 1 of PhotoPlus Expo in New York comes the news from Leica. Leica SL The newest mirrorless system is the brand new Leica SL, which was announced just two days ago.  The SL bucks the trend of ‘small mirrorless’ and instead simply treats it as any other high-end imaging system…

Hands-On: Fujifilm Booth: 35mm f/2 WR, 1.4x TC

Posted on October 22, 2015 by Jordan Steele

Fuji has had a pretty quiet PhotoPlus announcement list, with only two new products being announced ahead of the show: the compact XF 35mm f/2 WR and the new 1.4x teleconverter.  I had hands on with both products for a short while. XF 35mm f/2 WR The 35mm f/2 WR is the little brother to…
