Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
It’s been more than two years since I last bought a new lens, having been pretty satisfied with the trio of m4/3 prime lenses – the 17mm, 25mm, and 45mm – that are considered mandatory for serious owners of the
Most of my Nikon gear got sold off last year, leaving behind only the Sigma 18-250mm – fond memories of carting that all in one focal length wonder through several staycations, Japan, Boston, and Hannah’s first years – whose AF
The battery cover door of my 2 year old Metz 50AF-1 flashgun broke over the Chinese New Year period – *groan*. The flashgun still otherwise works fine, though it still has that odd quirk about having to dial in a

The start of a long weekend for myself. It’s semester break at work so I’d applied for Leave some months ago with the (optimistic) hope then that TOP would be about this point. There was, momentarily, some excitement yesterday evening
While the m4/3s family system has met all the photographic ticks I care for – compact and unobtrusive when taking pictures of kids, light, and great prime lens range – camera system watchers have been apparently somewhat less sanguine about
It’s been nearly 18 months since I picked up the Olympus E-M5. Thinking back; that was one of the most significant photographic decisions I had to make! I was at a crossroad deciding which mirrorless camera system to continue with
