Super Quick iPhone 5 Low Light Test

Posted on September 21, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Like millions of other people, I got a new iPhone 5 today.  While there are a number of improvements to the phone itself, since this is a photography site, I thought I’d give a quick peek at the camera.  I will probably do a review of the iPhone 5 camera in the future, comparing it…

Olympus 75mm f/1.8 – First Impressions

Posted on August 16, 2012September 3, 2012 by Jordan Steele

My full review of the 75mm f/1.8 is now up. Head over there to take a look! The Olympus 75mm f/1.8 arrived into the Admiring Light studios (i.e, my hands) yesterday. Took it for a short test spin, and it is quite the impressive optic, so far. It’s not perfect, but it’s darn, darn good….

A surprising lens…

Posted on August 5, 2012 by Jordan Steele

I’ve got the Voigtlander Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 in hand for evaluation (thanks to my friends at LensRentals.com), and I’m running it through its paces at the moment.  I will have a full in-depth review sometime in the next week,but for now I just wanted to share a few thoughts.  This lens is an all manual…

A Look at Nik HDR Efex Pro 2

Posted on July 11, 2012February 24, 2013 by Jordan Steele

The Nik Software plugins for Lightroom, Aperture  and Photoshop are among the best tools for giving an image that final touch up for the look I’m after.  They range from subtle to very in-your-face, and in my opinion Silver Efex Pro 2 is the best thing you can possibly use for black and white conversions….

Why I Switched to Micro 4/3

Posted on June 29, 2012June 29, 2012 by Jordan Steele

There several reactions when I tell people I went from a pro-grade full frame Canon DSLR rig to Micro 4/3.  First, many people are astonished that I’d give up such good gear for that ‘little tiny sensor.’  Or “what happened to your pro gear?”  More recently, though, as the market has shifted towards mirrorless, the…

OM-D E-M5 IS Effectiveness with Long Lenses

Posted on June 24, 2012June 24, 2012 by Jordan Steele

In body IS has been touted as a great stand in for optical IS for many years,  However, in practice, these systems often have fallen flat when it comes to stabilizing longer lenses.  The IS can’t shift enough to counteract the movement of a really narrow field of view, and as a result becomes largely…

Thoughts on the Schneider-Kreuznach 14mm f/2.0 Super Angulon

Posted on June 16, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Schneider-Kreuznach is a well respected lens maker, who primarily has specialized in ultra-high end cinema lenses and large format photographic lenses for their subsidiary company B+W, which is probably the most well respected photographic filter maker in the business.    They also make many of the lenses for the Samsung NX series mirrorless cameras, though…

OM-D E-M5 vs a Full Frame Legend, Part 1

Posted on June 7, 2012June 7, 2012 by Jordan Steele

One of my more popular (and controversial) articles has been my comparison of the Panasonic GH2 and GX1 to my old, yet still amazingly good Canon 1Ds Mark II.  The 1Ds II has been surpassed in the full frame arena by more modern cameras, but the image quality out of it is still very, very…
