I bought this lens because I had never been entirely satisfied with the results from other M43s lenses at 25mm and because of a general love for the results from a fast 50mm. Olympus released a number of products in the last few months and the 25mm ƒ/1.2 Pro M.Zuiko Digital (hereafter, the 25mm f1.2) …

Micro
Some of you, who follow my Flickr photostream, may have noticed that from time to time I shoot with Micro Four Third cameras, or M43s. It’s fair to observe I don’t use them all the time and I tend to reserve them for particular situations. Why? Well, sometimes you end up as a resolution and …
E-P5
It’s about time I got around to writing this, I’ve had the E-P5 for a couple of months now. I ended up with one primarily because I wanted the Olympus 17mm lens in black, which wasn’t available at the time in the UK, unless it was part of a kit. Let’s tackle the biggest issue …
Fleetwood Mac at the O2 with the E-P5
On Friday night last week I headed for the O2 arena in North Greenwich. For once I wasn’t there to ride the cable car! Fleetwood Mac were playing a show at the O2 and a firm my company does business with offered to take me and some others on hospitality. I’m going to confess now …
British Museum with my E-PL5
Now I am a bit more used to my E-PL5, I appreciate more of its finer points rather than its deficiencies. No one looks at it (I have a black model). I’ve never really believed the colour of lenses makes much of a difference to whether people notice you and your camera, but I do …
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 …
Covent Garden
Today I took my E-PL5 to Covent Garden together with my 12, 25 and 75mm lenses. Covent Garden is a district in London on the eastern fringes of the West End, between St. Martin’s Lane and Drury Lane. It is associated with the former fruit and vegetable market in the central square, now a popular …
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 …
