A Huge Array of Micro 4/3 Announcements…
Wow. Photokina kicked off this week, and as one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) photography trade shows, it also sees a ton of announcements. I wanted to get to these earlier, but it’s been crazy busy around here. For Micro 4/3 users, Monday saw the announced release of no less than three new…

Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 75mm f/1.8 ED
Olympus has been on a roll lately. While many of their early Micro 4/3 lens options were decent optically, the build quality was generally lacking and there was a lack of any really stellar optics. This has all changed since 2011. Olympus has switched gears somewhat and started catering to the high-end shooter who wants…

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: Voigtländer Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95
There are fast lenses, and then there are FAST lenses. The Voigtländer Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 definitely falls into the latter category. In fact, at f/0.95, it ties with a few other lenses, including its 25mm Micro 4/3 brother, as the fastest lens currently produced for an interchangeable lens camera. Faster lenses have been made, but they have…

I will have a full in-depth review sometime in the next week,but for now I just wanted to share a few thoughts. This lens is an all manual…

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…

Panasonic announces Lumix G5 and 45-150mm Tele-zoom
Pansonic today announced a bunch of new cameras…a small sensor superzoom with f/2.8 aperture (which is pretty cool, frankly), a new ‘premium’ compact in the LX7, and their latest Micro 4/3 camera, the Lumix DMC-G5. Panasonic Lumix G5 The G5 is the successor to the G3, and uses a similar, but not quite the same,…

Why I Switched to Micro 4/3
There several reactions when I tell people I went from a pro-grade full frame Canon DSLR rig to Micro 4/3. First, many people are astonished that I’d give up such good gear for that ‘little tiny sensor.’ Or “what happened to your pro gear?” More recently, though, as the market has shifted towards mirrorless, the…
