14 November, 2013 – Once Upon a Time in Olympus-Land

14 Nov

The family of Olympus Zuiko High Grade and Super High Grade lenses are among the best zoom lenses ever made. Originally designed for the Four Thirds format, they now have new life and a new home on the just shipping Olympus OM-D E-M1 due to its use of on-chip Phase Detection autofocus as well as Contrast Detection AF.

These lenses are expensive, but for anyone who wants the best possible glass, yet who values the versatility of zooms, there are none finer.

28 October, 2013 – The Master Never Stops Being The Student

28 Oct

Following Michael’s bemoaning the banality of this year’s PhotoPlus Expo in New York City, Nick Devlin writes that he attended the show, and can’t disagree that this was a slow year for new bling. But in a corridor of meeting rooms below the gear-porn, the art of photography was alive and well.

25 October, 2015 – PDN PhotoExpo ? Staying Alive

26 Oct

I’ve been attending the Fall photo equipment show in New York for quite a few years. The show’s name changes every now and then, but in a non-photokina year it’s an opportunity to meet with friends and associates in the industry and to take the pulse of what’s happening. This year the theme for the industry seems to be "staying alive", which is also the theme of my included video.
