• Zeiss Touit 12mm f/2.8 vs Fujinon 14mm f/2.8 R

    With the release of Zeiss lenses for Fuji and Sony’s NEX, many owners of Fuji’s X system have been wondering whether the new Zeiss Touit 12mm f/2.8 Distagon is worth the nearly $400 price premium over Fuji’s already outstanding 14mm f/2.8.  I reviewed the 14mm f/2.8 last month, and I’ve found it to be one…

  • Panasonic 7-14mm vs Olympus 9-18mm

    The Micro 4/3 system has been around for a while now, and early on, each of the two main Micro 4/3 companies released their ultra wide-angle lenses.  Panasonic came out with the impressively specified 7-14mm f/4, while Olympus went a little more moderate, but shot for size, creating the incredibly tiny 9-18mm f/4-5.6. I’ve owned…

  • Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 14mm f/2.8 R

    Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 14mm f/2.8 R

    When the X-series of mirrorless cameras from Fujifilm launched last year, it began with three prime lenses: an 18mm f/2, a 35mm f/1.4 and a 60mm f/2.4 Macro.  This gave the system a nice base to start with, and provided three very high quality primes for the serious photographer.  Later last year, Fuji expanded the…

  • Waiting at the Platform

    I took about 15 minutes today to finally get out and shoot just a little bit, since I have been working non-stop at home and work.  It’s been a while.  Anyway, there was a great blue heron just waiting along the river dock….and he made quite a striking subject (click to enlarge):

  • The State of the Mirrorless Camera Industry – May 2013

    The State of the Mirrorless Camera Industry – May 2013

    When I first started this site about 16 months ago, I did a two-part piece examining a little of the history of digital photography and a trending towards mirrorless cameras. Since then, a lot has changed in a relatively short period of time, though the major players are still the same. More and more people…

  • Quick Test – Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro vs Fuji 60mm f/2.4 Macro

    Last night I decided to do a quick test between the Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro on the OM-D and the Fuji 60mm f/2.4 Macro on the Fuji X-E1.  Both are the same focal length (but give a little different fields of view due to the different sensor sizes), similar in aperture and both are macro…

  • Butterflies!

    I’m working on a rather long in-depth post at the moment, but it’s going to take me a day or two to finish it up.  In the meantime, here are some butterflies, taken at the Franklin Park Conservatory, here in Columbus.  Click to enlarge:
