• Olympus OM-D E-M5 Hands-On Preview

    Today I got a chance for a brief time to handle Olympus’ new flagship Micro 4/3 camera, the E-M5, which is positioned in the brand new OM-D line, a callback to the OM system of the 1970s and 1980s.  The new camera is styled in a very similar vein to those cameras, but is also…

  • More Wildlife…

    Just thought I’d share a few more pictures from our wonderful zoo.  I’m quite enjoying shooting with a long lens again, and the FD 50-300mm f/4.5L, while sometimes challenging due to having to use manual focus, is giving me the look I want with these.  Just a few more samples for your enjoyment.

  • Samsung releases NX20, NX210 and NX1000

    I was perusing the net at many oft visited Photography related websites, and came across this post on 43rumors.com.  It basically shows some images of the upcoming Olympus 75mm f/1.8 lens for Micro 4/3.  There was certainly nothing wrong with the post, but the comments on the post had me scratching my head. It wasn’t just…

  • A Shower of Sparks

    Failing wheel bearing hub assembly?  Check.  Dremel with metal cutting wheel?  Check.  Tripod mounted long lens set far enough back to not be melted by flying sparks?  Check.

  • Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 12mm f/2

    Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 12mm f/2

    If you have not read my reviews before, please note that I take a real-world approach to my reviews, after using the equipment and seeing how they fare in the real world.  There are lots of review sites that give empirical numbers and such, but you will not find any of those here. The Olympus…

  • New Mexico Travel Diary – Part 4

    This is the last entry in my New Mexico Travel Diary.  I’ve had a great time exploring the stark and historic beauty of the northern part of the state, but it’s back to home now. Days 6 and 7 – Sandias, Coronado State Monument and back to Santa Fe Day 6 came, and after all…
