I'm excited. I have bought a second EM5 body given the recent drop in prices. It's second hand but has a low shutter count. In fact I didn't want a new EM5 as I am going to get this one converted to Infrared. When I had the GX1 converted I used a company called ACS. … Continue reading Another EM5 Posting

Well Done Lee Filters
A couple of weeks back I was in the Lake District enjoying some walking and photography. It was during this time that I came across a rather high contrast scene so reached for my filter kit. Regular readers may know that I am a huge fan of the Lee Seven 5 series of filters which … Continue reading Well Done Lee Filters
Would You Buy the Olympus EM5 MK II
Since Olympus announced the EM5 MK II I seem to have been asked repeatedly will I be buying the new camera. My answer is “not yet” and “probably not” (although I reserve the right to change my mind). The spec for the EM5 MK II is very enticing. There is the 40MP RAW image size … Continue reading Would You Buy the Olympus EM5 MK II

The … Continue reading Friday Image No. 48

Sony RX10 Surprise
You might have noticed that I haven’t posted anything over this past week. That’s because I have been taking a break in the Lake District enjoying some walking and a little photography. I had with me a range of cameras (you never quite know what you will need): Sony RX10 Olympus EM5 Panasonic GM1 (including … Continue reading Sony RX10 Surprise
The RX10 is winning me over by osmosis
I've had the RX10 for around 14 months now so I should be in a position to say if it's a good camera or not. Had you asked me this question 12 months ago I would probably have said (if I was being totally truthful) that it was a bit of a letdown. You see … Continue reading The RX10 is winning me over by osmosis
Further Website Frustrations
So, I have to start this post with yet another apology. I was feeling quite pleased with myself after the flurry of activity last weekend and a few nights this week. Security on the Lenscraft website was much tighter and the response speeds were very good. How things have changed. Last night I received an … Continue reading Further Website Frustrations

I have fallen some way behind in responding to emails and queries as the numbers have shot up recently. … Continue reading Sony RX10 Problem and Frustration
