Olympus Pen-F Mirrorless Camera Review:
I’ve always been attracted to Olympus Pen cameras for a lot of the same reasons its users like them. Their compact, retro-inspired forms are attractive but there’s definitely more than meets the eye; they are also versatile cameras that can produce excellent images. But one feature I felt was always missing was a built-in viewfinder, which is why the OM-D series was always what I would look at first if I were to consider a micro four thirds system from Olympus. However, decisions just got a little more difficult with the newly released Pen-F. Not only is there a new built-in viewfinder, there is a list of other upgrades, improvements, and features. Unlike the SLR-like qualities of the OM-D series, the Pen-F has a more rangefinder-like design. So, the question is, which one is best for you? Read on and find out. [continue reading…]
Portraits with the Olympus Pen-F and Nocticron:
It’s been a very busy month for me, so I haven’t had as much time as I would like to post more consistently. But my schedule is clearing up, and I did finish up with the Olympus Pen-F, so I’ll be posting my review up soon. One lens I found myself using a lot with this camera was the Panasonic Nocticron 42.5mm f1.2 ASPH. The Nocticron has been out for a while but when I borrowed the Pen-F to review, I knew I had to give the Nocticron a try. It’s expensive, and it’s a pretty big lens if you consider it is designed to be mounted on a micro four thirds camera but the performance is exemplary. I’ll be writing up a review for it as well. But while I’m working on those reviews, I thought I’d post a few images with the Pen-F and the Nocticron. [continue reading…]
Billingham Alice L2 Camera Bag Review:
With the popularity of mirrorless cameras increasing, the need for a bag that can comfortably fit a light kit is in higher demand. Luckily, Billingham, a manufacturer who’ve been making camera bags for quite a long time, have several models to choose from that fits this criteria. They have bags, such as, the Hadley Small, and the M Combination bag. Both bags are very popular but they may not be perfect for everyone. That’s why there is also another option: The Billingham Alice L2. The Alice L2 is a classic and has been in the Billingham catalogue for quite some time. It offers many of the same features as the other two bags that I’ve just mentioned but it also has it’s own unique traits, which I will talk more about in this review. [continue reading…]

This is the older model as the new one is the current f2.4 version. Still, it is a fantastic lens, especially for $1,195! It’s very easy to focus, compact, and it is insanely sharp! This is such a great deal that it’s making me question whether or not I should buy one right now. Of course, Leica is also having their current 12% instant rebate on 29 lenses, so if you’re looking for something else, this is a great time to buy it. The link to that page is here:

New York Auto Show 2016 Pt. 2: More From The Pen-F
I’ve had such a busy month, so apologies for not having anything new up in the past few days. I will actually have a lot of stuff coming here soon though. For one, I’ve also been using the Olympus Pen-F a lot, and once I’m done with it, I’ll posting a review of it. I probably should’ve posted it a little earlier but I really wanted to get the most out of it, so I’ve been playing around with a lot of different lenses, and as some of you know, there are so many great ones to choose from. For example, for the pictures here from the New York Auto Show, I used only the Olympus M. Zuiko 12-40mm F2.8 Pro. If you want to see part one of these pictures, it’s here. [continue reading…]
