When is your camera good enough?

Posted on February 5, 2012February 16, 2021 by Jordan Steele

As an active member in several on-line photographic communities, I read a lot of photographers’ opinions on a wide range of subjects: photographic technique, inspirational photos, business and the quality of camera gear.  One trend I’ve noticed with the rapid pace of improvement in digital imaging is that many photographers get so caught up in…

New Tokina 300mm – Someone Who Gets It

Posted on February 3, 2012February 3, 2012 by Jordan Steele

I have always had a soft spot for Tokina lenses.  When I first got into photography, one of my absolute favorite lenses was the Tokina 12-24mm f/4 for my Canon DSLR.  Amazingly built lens, great optics.  Felt like a truly pro-grade lens for a reasonable price.  Tokina recently entered the Micro 4/3 fray and has…

Pentax K-01 Announced – My Thoughts

Posted on February 2, 2012February 2, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Today, Pentax announced their large sensor entry into the mirrorless camera market.  The camera has a 16 MP APS-C sized sensor, and that should be great. I’m sure image quality in this camera will be excellent.  Where Pentax both succeeded and failed was with making the camera use the K-mount.  The K-mount is the Pentax…

Finding Texaco

Posted on February 1, 2012February 1, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Here in Ohio, the Texaco brand is defunct. There are no current Texaco stations in the state, at least to my knowledge. However, every once in a while, you may pass by an old abandoned gas station, and they sort of look the same. Dilapidated, grungy, old. It is rare that you pass by a…

Posted on January 29, 2012January 30, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Two days ago, I posted the first test between these twelve lenses.  See Part 1 for that test.  Part 1 also describes the lenses tested.  Part 3 evaluates bokeh. Part 2 – Edge Sharpness While sharpness isn’t the most important metric of a lens, it is one that most people notice right away, and can…

Blue Droplets Frozen in Time

Posted on January 28, 2012January 28, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Today I finally did a little photographic project I’ve been meaning to do for a very long time.  I’m sure most of you have seen pictures of water drops, perhaps you’ve tried it, perhaps you have always wondered how it’s done.  Today I did it.  It was a very simple setup.  I put my camera…

Posted on January 27, 2012January 30, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Ok, so they aren’t doing BATTLE per se. This is one of those lens tests that’s really just for fun….don’t take it too seriously, please.  Part 2 is now up, and evaluates edge sharpness.  See Part 3 for a look at bokeh. 50 Years of Lenses Over the years, I have accumulated a rather extensive…
