I ended up writing the below post on a forum in response to a DSLR owner, who for health reasons was considering a move to micro four thirds. The chap concerned, perfectly reasonably, had decided that he was going to make the move from a Nikon D800 setup to a E-M5. For reasons I’m not …

King’s Cross St Pancras
I have been spending a lot of time more recently posting reviews of lenses. While that generates a lot of hits, it isn’t as much fun as getting out to new places (or old places) with a camera. A week or two back my train was diverted to King’s Cross Station in the morning due …
E-M5 and Panasonic 35-100mm – Final Thoughts
Having given the lens a good write up but its combination with the E-M5 less of a blessing, I decided to renew my acquaintance with the lens plus E-M5 in some half decent light. To the handling. It still isn’t great, but you may be fine. Looking at the way I hold the E-M5, the …
Panasonic 35-100mm – further samples
These are just a few more shots from my walk around yesterday. Nothing further to add other than I really do like the colour you get out of this lens.
Panasonic 35-100mm first impressions
I nearly managed to name this 35-100m first impressions which makes it sound like I was reviewing a swimming pool… In any event this turned up just before I went to work this morning so I thought I would take it for a spin. Overall I was impressed, but I think for some people they …
Meeting my parents for a family lunch
Today we went to Playhatch, near Reading, to meet up with my parents. They live in Wales about 3 hours drive away so, given our use of Skype, I’m pretty convinced that our son Daniel thinks my parents are characters in a computer game… In any event it was lovely to catch up. As ever …
A visit to the Natural History Museum
I have been in love with London’s Natural History Museum in South Kensington ever since I was a small boy and I went on several school and family trips there. I developed a lifelong facination for Dinosaurs and other creatures as a result! Visiting it more recently, I began to appreciate the magnificent architecture of …
The people of St Pauls
Having failed to bring my G5 with me today for some testing with the 7-14 (battery, what battery??) I did at least have my E-M5 with me. I wanted a walk at lunchtime for a bit of exercise and so I decided to head down to St Paul’s cathedral. I couldn’t really be bothered to …
Trafalgar Square
First of two posts this evening. First of all, yesterday I visited Trafalgar Square in central London. The evening before I had been telling some poor guy he needed to visit the square with a UWA lens, so I decided to take my new 9-18 down there. I was very happy with the output from …
Olympics Parade
Olympics Parade, a set on Flickr. Slideshow available through the “Olympics Parade” link under the block of pictures above. The official parade of British medallists and other competitors took place today in London, commencing near Bank, not far from where I work. I ventured down armed with my E-M5. Unfortunately I had forgotten the parade …
