Compact, competent & steady. You want this lens. At time of writing, the Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS for full frame Sony E-mount (i.e. the A7, A7r, A7s) cameras is a bit of a white buffalo. Few have seen one in the wild. Fortunately, I got my hands on one to purchase, thanks to a […]
Why I got my wife a micro 4/3 camera
I got my wife a microsensor camera (micro 4/3) – but promise not to drink the KoolAide I poke fun at the micro 4/3 system (i.e. “microsensor cameras”) fairly often. It’s typically triggered by the outrageous, bulldog-like persistence of many microsensor fanatics who breathlessly extol the virtues of the small sensor format as the best […]

The SWITCH – 7 Stages of moving from Canon to the Sony A7r.
The Leica Boss loves Leica. This is established. But this doesn’t mean I have an “M-only” view of photography. Actually – I always shot Canon. My Dad shot Canon and I caught the “bug” from him. In 1996, I saved enough to purchase my first SLR (an EOS Elan IIe) and I received my first […]
