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 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 …
The people of St Pauls

Cambridge for a picnic
The city of Cambridge is a university town and the administrative centre of the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It lies in East Anglia, on the River Cam, about 50 miles (80 km) north of London. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century, although city status was not conferred until 1951. I’ve loved Cambridge …
Comparisons between the Olympus 45mm and 75mm
This is a post about two micro four thirds camera lenses. So in 35mm film terms you need to multiply the focal length by two. Which means these lenses are a 90mm equivalent and a 150mm equivalent. So I should start by saying that I don’t hate the Olympus 45mm lens. Far from it. It …
A hot, humid and grey day by the tower
A quick walk around the Tower of London and surrounds at lunchtime
My new eight legged friend
As found hanging outside the kitchen window. Speaks for itself this one. Sleep tight…
