Took the chance today to head down to a beach near where we live to check out the rock pools and jagged cliff formations, and hey, who doesn’t like a nice day out near the water! I took the 12-40mm f2.8 Pro with me since I knew with its versatile focal length it would be […]
Olympus 17mm f/1.8 M.Zuiko Review
This premium but not quite Pro lens from Olympus is the equivalent of 35mm, which is my favourite lens length to use on my film camera, very versatile in that its nice and wide but you can still get close enough to use it for portraits when needed. It’s been a great length to use […]
Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 Pro Review
This lens is one of Olympus most well-known and respected creations in their entire line up, known for its fantastic build quality, optical results and also the fact that it’s weather sealed for use with those cameras that are also designed to withstand the elements (em5, em1 etc). After buying it and being torn between […]
Wedding shoot with the Olympus 17mm f1.8
Late last year I had the chance to not only be the best man at my friend’s wedding but also be second shooter alongside my father who was using his EM10 with my 12-40 2.8 Pro. I used my recently purchased 17mm f1.8 lens and this was its first occasion shoot. I’d long been looking […]
Fujifilm Superia 100 Review In Phuket
Prior to my recent holiday to Phuket I’d decided I’d take two different films I’d purchased but not yet had the chance to use. The first of these was Kodak Ektar which I reviewed in my previous post and loved the results, and the second was some Fujifilm Superia 100 that had expired in 2013. […]
Kodak Ektar Review In Phuket
While planning a holiday one of the main decisions is always what camera equipment to take. Take absolutely everything and wreck your neck, blow your carry on allowance and annoy your wife or take the sensible but often overlooked route and only take what will still let you have a fun holiday and get some […]
Kodak ColorPlus 200 Review
When using film you’re confronted with plenty of choices, one of the main ones being how much you’re willing to spend on each roll. While for specific projects or purposes certain films may be needed – for example the overexposed Fuji Pro 400H look that’s become so in demand for weddings, as is the timeless […]
Superheadz Golden Half Camera Review
The Superheadz Golden Half camera is an all plastic camera with a plastic lens, weighing in at a tiny 90gm. Mine has a story that’s given it quite a lot of sentimental meaning, my Grandma had given me some money to spend during some of my time living in KL and I wanted to get […]
Olympus mju ii review
Here it is – the hottest camera in a very long time, the hippest camera for an even longer time, the camera that could quite easily pay for your mortgage if you have a few stockpiled! The Olympus mju ii has sent people crazy and I don’t know exactly what started it but at the […]
Medan, Sumatra
Back in 2012 when my wife (then fiancee) was pregnant with our first daughter, we headed from KL over to Medan for a short couple of nights holiday. Medan was absolutely fantastic and despite its reputation for being somewhat boring and dull, we found it to be an enthralling and beautiful mix of many different […]
