Wow, how lucky am I? I’ve just finished pulling together my thoughts on the Fuji XF 55–200mm and I get a call from the dealer to say my tou Zeiss Touit lenses (get it?) are on their way… Anyway, to the 55-200mm. A very quick explanation – no test charts or other examples to be seen …

RX1: Flawed Genius?
No, I’m not going to come out with a bunch of superlatives again after my GH3 review. I really like my GH3 but it’s an expensive video camera at the minute – I just don’t seem to use either of my M43s cameras for stills right now. I think I need to sell a whole …
The future of X-Trans RAW: Apple Aperture?
I was really surprised at the message telling me Apple Aperture had acquired Fuji X-trans compatibility (for use with the X-Pro1, X-E1 and X100S). I downloaded it, gave a conversion a look, thought it looked OK and disregarded it on the basis that Aperture is way overdue for an update and lacks decent CA control …
Some impressions of the FujiFilm X100S

Some Impressions of the Contax G2
So what is this? I’m providing some impressions of a camera launched in 1996 which ceased production in 2005? Am I mad? Hopefully not! I decided more and more that I liked the film-like quality you get from the Fuji X-trans cameras and from the Leica M9. The thought occurred to me that I ought …
Holy cow this camera is good (initial thoughts on the GH3)…
This is shaping up to be a very impressive camera. It’s a beast – size wise it’s as big width wise as a APS-C DSLR (though it is thinner). Grip is the most comfortable I’ve had in M43s including the G5. I can imagine holding this for hours without it being uncomfortable. The viewfinder is …
Impressions of the E-PL5
I bought an E-PL5 on a spur of the moment thing. I had sold my E-P3 a couple of weeks back, I missed it and I found a decent price body only on the E-PL5 and thought “what the hell”. Unfortunately, my first impressions were poor. The screen seemed tiny in comparision to either the …
