    Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II

    Today I take an in-depth look at the refresh of a lens that has been part of the Micro 4/3 system for a rather long time.  Olympus first announced the original 75-300mm lens for Micro 4/3 in September of 2010.  That lens was priced at a rather insane $900, significantly more than the competing Panasonic…

  • Review: Fujifilm X-M1

    As the Fujifilm X-Series mirrorless system grows, Fuji has seen fit to diversify a bit from what was previously a system that catered entirely to enthusiasts and professionals. Recently, Fuji has released its latest X-Series camera: the X-M1. While the X-Pro 1 and X-E1 were targeted distinctly at the high-end, the X-M1 seeks to court…

  • Review: Olympus Pen E-P5

    Olympus produced the very first rangefinder styled mirrorless digital camera back in 2009 with the original Pen E-P1…a classic camera that, despite a merely OK sensor and sluggish performance, set the tone for the industry.  It was a camera with great retro styling, a beautiful construction, extremely small size and a DSLR sized sensor.  It…

  • Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS

    Fujifilm has been hard at work the past two years in fleshing out their new X-series mirrorless system. While the current system only consists of eight Fujinon lenses and two Zeiss lenses, Fuji has done a great job at building a complete system very quickly. One of the latest additions is the company’s second zoom…

    Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 14mm f/2.8 R

    When the X-series of mirrorless cameras from Fujifilm launched last year, it began with three prime lenses: an 18mm f/2, a 35mm f/1.4 and a 60mm f/2.4 Macro.  This gave the system a nice base to start with, and provided three very high quality primes for the serious photographer.  Later last year, Fuji expanded the…

  • Review: Fujifilm X-E1

    Review: Fujifilm X-E1

    Fuji is a relative newcomer to the mirrorless game, and they’ve taken a different strategy than the other players in this market. Fuji has eschewed the entire low-end market and decided to focus on prosumer and professional users exclusively. Last year, they introduced the X-Pro 1, a relatively large body with a hybrid optical and…

  • 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…

  • Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3

    After a quite long two-year wait, Panasonic has updated their flagship Micro 4/3 camera, and they’ve upgraded almost every single item on the camera. This fall, the new DMC-GH3 was announced and cameras first started becoming available a few months ago. Panasonic is positioning the GH3 as the ultimate top end Micro 4/3 body, with…
