A Topiary Horse?

Why did the topiary horse cross the road? I really don’t know but I love these grey Bismarck fan palms but I don’t think they will grow at my latitude… Olympus OMD and that Leica 135mm Tele Elmar again…

Olympus OMD f8 1/640s ISO200

A range of Zeiss auto focus lenses have just been announced for the Micro four thirds format. This is remarkable and will a long way to cement the format as the small camera format. Don’t get me wrong Olympus, Panasonic and Voigtlander all make very good lenses but Zeiss, Schneider and Leica are the creme de la creme of glass. Personally I am a Zeiss kind of photographer I have had, used and like the qualities of both of the others but the Zeiss offerings have always been the more memorable… Photokina is starting to look like it will be a really good show!

Olympus OMD f8 1/320s ISO 250 12-50mm lens,

It has taken over a week to return to some form of normality after some miserable bastard deprived me of  the tools of my trade. Fortunately all my twenty years of work digital and scanned film work reside on a couple of hard drives which were stored of site – cheap insurance… I have still got a hundred or so architectural images captured on my recent trip to Singapore. Hopefully the Over Fifties Insurance Co will see fit to pay out before I run out of images to post here. It just might be an opportunity… I still have a couple of very capable film cameras and a freezer full of film then there’s my iPhone

Olympus OMD f8 1/500s ISO200

Curved matrix, an interesting building in Singapore on the formula one circuit. People have criticised quite harshly the Olympus 12-50 kit lens but I am finding it to be better that average and far superior to kit lenses from Canon and Pentax the two that I have had experience with. Its tack sharp at f5.6 and the colour rendering (on colourful subjects) is as good as some of my Canon L lenses. All considered a good everyday lens. The Oly lens that I am really waiting for is the 60mm Macro if they get that right any competition from other manufacturers becomes quite subjective…
