  • Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8 Macro

    Quite a while back, Olympus hinted at their first true macro lens for Micro 4/3…the 60mm f/2.8.  It’s taken a while to come to market, but it finally saw official release this past September.  I was lucky enough to pick one up shortly thereafter.  Olympus priced this lens competitively, at $499, coming in well under…

  • Review: Sony NEX-7

    Review: Sony NEX-7

    The Sony NEX-7 has been out for quite a while now, but it still sits atop the NEX line of mirrorless Compact System Cameras in the flagship position. It features a 24 megapixel APS-C sensor in a very tiny body, and for many people was somewhat of a ‘holy grail’ camera when it was released…

  • First Impressions of the Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro

    First Impressions of the Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro

    Got the Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8 Macro yesterday, and while I haven’t had a ton of time to shoot yet, I thought I’d give you my first impressions. First off, it’s a very skinny lens. Same length as the 12-50 kit zoom, but skinnier. It’s also heavier than the kit lens, so it feels a…

  • Sony announces new NEX-6 camera and new lenses

    Today, Sony made a number of announcements in their imaging division, from a new full-frame SLT camera to a full frame camcorder, to a very expensive full-frame compact camera (I’ll likely follow with some thoughts on that later tonight).  However, for those of us who use predominantly mirrorless cameras, the new NEX-6 and NEX lenses…

  • Olympus 75mm f/1.8 – First Impressions

    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.…

  • 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…

  • Review: Olympus OM-D E-M5

    A New Flagship? When Olympus announced their latest camera, the OM-D E-M5, there was more buzz among the photographic community for this release than there had been for probably any other Micro 4/3 camera since the original E-P1.   Olympus resurrected their legendary ‘OM’ system name for this camera, creating a new line of Olympus Micro…
