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…]
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…]
Domke F-803 Camera Satchel Bag Review:
Most of the bags I’ve reviewed on this site have been made by Billingham. I can’t help it, I’m a big fan; I use a lot of the bags myself because they simply last forever. But as we know, Billingham isn’t the only manufacturer that makes good bags, so I thought this time, I would review an old classic, the Domke F-803. Like many of the Billingham bags, the F-803 has been around for ages, and since not much of it has changed over the years, is the F-803 still relevant considering how much in photography and photographic gear actually has changed? I was definitely curious, and here is what I concluded from my time with this bag. [continue reading…]

Sunlows Orange-LL Leather Camera Strap Review:
A short while ago, there were just a few major camera strap companies out there but now, there are more manufacturers than ever before, and one of these companies is Sunlows. Sunlows is a company from Turkey that has been producing fine leatherwork for quite some time, and has brought that experience and knowledge to photography. They produce wrist straps, and neck straps made not just from leather but also from other various materials. One of their products is the Orange-LL, which is an all leather camera neck strap that Sunlows was kind enough to send me to review and evaluate. Here is what I think of it. [continue reading…]
Cecilia Gallery Leather Wrist Strap Review:
I bought a new Leica D-Lux Typ 109 in the solid gray color, and I’ve been looking around for a wrist strap for it. This time, I really didn’t want one made out of leather because I wanted something very flexible considering the camera is both compact and light. I also wanted a cord end instead of a metal O ring because it adds to the overall flexibility of the strap but I needed a cord that could withstand a lot of abuse because I did not want my camera to snap off. So, after an extensive search, I finally found a strap that fit my needs: the Cecilia Gallery leather wrist strap. [continue reading…]
