Thanks to the very friendly people at Olympus Germany, Austria and Switzerland, or in short Olympus DACH, I was able to test the Olympus OM-D E-M1 MKII, the Olympus M.Zuiko 12-100 f/4 and the Olympus M.Zuiko 7-14 2.8 Pro lenses. Oh the M.Zuiko 12-40 2.8 Pro was in the box as well. A big thank […]
The Olympus 45mm F/1.8 prime lens is currently Olympus’ only fast short telephoto lens. Yes the 60 macro is perfect portrait length… but it is F/2.8. The 75mm F/1.8 lens is also amazing… but it is a bit long for working in close distances. Luckily the 45mm is a stellar offering. As usual I […]
Disclaimer: I am an ambassador for Olympus Norway and I did not pay for this lens and I’m not being paid to write about it. All opinions about is are my own. Introduction About 9 months has passed since I got the Olympus 12-100 f/4 and I’ve used it quite a bit in various settings. […]
As I’ve said in my original review of the 50mm f/1.4 CCTV C-mount, this lens is very cheap (less than 30 dollars/pounds/euros), yet capable of amazing results.

I’ve now had my Olympus EM10 MK II for about a month and feel that after giving it extensive use both at home in Australia and also overseas in Malaysia (with a 4 year old and 11 month old!) that I’m in a good position to be able to give a comprehensive review of what […]
My wife’s sister lives about eight hours away and we get to see her sister’s family three or four times a year. Ever since they had kids, those three or four times a year have become a valuable chance to catch up with and get to know our nieces and nephews. Time has inevitably set […]
I have been mumbling for more than 3 years about my own frustrations of being caught in an old and dying ecosystem, about how both the giants (Canon and Nikon) simply refuse to evolve, and basing themselves on the niche that is also caught in dubious dogmas. About how even back then mirrorless systems with […]
It’s no secret that I’m a Lensbaby fan — I’ve been using their unique and creative lenses since 2005. After a recent visit to their headquarters in Portland, I was super excited to get my hands on one of their coolest lenses to test out, the Composer Pro with Sweet 35 Optic. I immediately felt […]
