    Olympus 75mm f/1.8 – First Impressions

    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.…

  • It’s raining inside!

    I took this photograph yesterday morning.  It’s my daughter, wearing her little frog boots, and ready to go outside.  I took this shot with one thing in mind, but after viewing the original image, I decided to do some editing to make the image fit the vision that was in my head.  I normally don’t…

  • Review: Voigtländer Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95

    There are fast lenses, and then there are FAST lenses.  The Voigtländer Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 definitely falls into the latter category.  In fact, at f/0.95, it ties with a few other lenses, including its 25mm Micro 4/3 brother, as the fastest lens currently produced for an interchangeable lens camera.  Faster lenses have been made, but they have…

  • Finding photos in the shadows

    I went downtown for a quick jaunt today.  I went to North Bank Park, where I go a lot.  I’ve exhausted a lot of the photographic opportunities here, at least when it comes to the cityscape…(though I think it’s impossible to truly exhaust a location…it just gets harder).  I got a few nice photos, but…

  • A surprising lens…

    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…

  • Review: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 X OIS

    Panasonic Goes Pro When the Panasonic Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8 X lens was first shown off as a ‘concept lens’ with its still yet to be announced 35-100mm brother (reviewed here) in August of last year, serious photographers who used the Micro 4/3 system started to lick their chops.  It took a while, but the lens was…

  • What I’m Working On…

    I haven’t forgotten about the site, I promise! I’ve been swamped at work and home doing all sorts of things and have had very, very little time to shoot or do anything photography related. That said, I am working on a few things. I have received a Panasonic 12-35mm f/2.8 from LensRentals.com to run through…

  • Panasonic announces Lumix G5 and 45-150mm Tele-zoom

    Pansonic today announced a bunch of new cameras…a small sensor superzoom with f/2.8 aperture (which is pretty cool, frankly), a new ‘premium’ compact in the LX7, and their latest Micro 4/3 camera, the Lumix DMC-G5. Panasonic Lumix G5 The G5 is the successor to the G3, and uses a similar, but not quite the same,…
