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.

Olympus E-M5 vs Panasonic GH2: Dynamic Range Battle
So at lunch today, I finally got a chance to test the Olympus E-M5 against the Panasonic GH2 in dynamic range. I chose a high DR area, and then decided to see how they did when overexposed 3 stops and pulled back, and underexposed 3 stops and pushed back. All shots were taken one after…

Trying out Handheld Night Shooting with the OM-D
Took the OM-D out for a quick spin of night shooting this evening on the way home from work, sans tripod. The in-body IS was rather astounding, and enabled me to keep the ISO relatively low even with a little longer lens. This shot of the Main St and Town Street bridges in Columbus, was…
