Some Butterflies with the Olympus E-P5
I have the Olympus E-P5 in my possession for review at the moment, and on Friday, I had a chance to give it a great workout in the macro arena. I took it to Franklin Park Conservatory to get some butterfly shots, and the camera performed well. I used the pop-up flash for lighting (I…

Panasonic 7-14mm vs Olympus 9-18mm
The Micro 4/3 system has been around for a while now, and early on, each of the two main Micro 4/3 companies released their ultra wide-angle lenses. Panasonic came out with the impressively specified 7-14mm f/4, while Olympus went a little more moderate, but shot for size, creating the incredibly tiny 9-18mm f/4-5.6. I’ve owned…

The State of the Mirrorless Camera Industry – May 2013
When I first started this site about 16 months ago, I did a two-part piece examining a little of the history of digital photography and a trending towards mirrorless cameras. Since then, a lot has changed in a relatively short period of time, though the major players are still the same. More and more people…

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…

Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8
Olympus has been focusing on the higher end with their lens releases over the past two years, and this trend continues with the release of the M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8. With a fast aperture and a field of view like the classic 35mm lens on full frame, this is a lens that has been desired for…

Mirrorless Battle: OM-D vs GH3 vs X-E1
This should be a fun comparison. I have the pleasure of having three of the best mirrorless cameras around in my possession right now: a newly acquired Fuji X-E1 with 35mm f/1.4, my trusty Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Panasonic GH3, fresh into my hands for review. Expect full reviews of the Fuji X-E1 and Panasonic…

Review: Olympus 15mm f/8 Body Cap Lens
This past fall, Olympus announced a rather interesting lens…the smallest lens yet for the Micro 4/3 system, and one of the smallest interchangeable lenses ever made. This optic? The 15mm f/8 body cap lens. This tiny lens/body cap is classified by Olympus as an “accessory” rather than a true lens, and the lens doesn’t carry…

The Photographer’s Eye
I have been sick the past few days, and last night, I had the urge to shoot a little, but I sure as heck wasn’t going anywhere. So, I tried ‘self eye macros’, which aren’t particularly easy. Luckily, the OM-D and 60mm macro have pretty good autofocus, so I set up my camera on a…
