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.…

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.

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…

Random Shots From Yesterday
Getting time to shoot… Well, despite being crazy busy at work, I actually found some time to shoot yesterday. The first shot, to the left (click to enlarge) was a shot I’ve been meaning to take for months. I drive past it every week on a way to a meeting. It’s just off the highway. …

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…
