Review: Nikon Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S
Macro lenses are one of the staple primes of any lens system, and almost all of them are very good optically. Nikon’s latest for their Z-mount mirrorless cameras, the MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S, is a pretty standard lens when you look at the specifications.

Quick Test – Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro vs Fuji 60mm f/2.4 Macro
Last night I decided to do a quick test between the Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro on the OM-D and the Fuji 60mm f/2.4 Macro on the Fuji X-E1. Both are the same focal length (but give a little different fields of view due to the different sensor sizes), similar in aperture and both are macro…

Butterflies!
I’m working on a rather long in-depth post at the moment, but it’s going to take me a day or two to finish it up. In the meantime, here are some butterflies, taken at the Franklin Park Conservatory, here in Columbus. Click to enlarge:
