Hello, I was in iceland in november 10 years ago.   This is very low season. We had temperatures between 0 and -20 °c.  And a couple of days of snowstorm.  Only the ringroad was open, but can close ...

I will for sure need a new camera by the time oly gets it on the market:-) 2017 ?  No way 2018 announced in the fall? 2019 first samples for reviewers 2020 me waiting fo a price drop :-).  After ...

Buy very few but excellent lenses.  Use them until they are broken or the camera they fit on is irrelevant. i still have my fathers full mechanical nikormat.  The F3 is broken.  I could use some ...

I started with an omd and just the 45.  Never regretted that i never bought a standard kit zoom. my second lens was the 12 mm,  later i bought the voigtlander 17.5, which is my most used lens at ...

Probably expensive but once of a life time trip would be a rail / mountainwalk combination in stead of renting a car.  The railway and public bus system is very good.  We often use it when ending ...

The voigtlander 17.5 is there to fill this gap partially.   Sharpness, image quality and rendering are in a class of its own.   Size, weight and MF only are the drawbacks. steven

Me neither, but the fuji 23 f1.4 comes close. at this moment however I would rebuy MFT, just to be able to keep using this lens. probably i have to pair it with at a good 35 mm travel camera for ...

Message to Oly: - wheater sealed EM 5 freezes - we need wheather sealed compact primes to pair with wheather sealed compact body's - fuji is interesting for a compact wheather sealed travel ...

Might be interesting, depending on price and weight. lens chracter is difficult to predict.  I guess it will be somewhat more "neutral" than the cv17.5. steven

I looked at the lens pools at flickriver. The fuji 23f2 doesn't come close.  The 23f1.4 image quality is okay, but not really a compact solution.  However the character is is different from the ...

Hello, my EM5 recently had shutter problems and now "freezes" from time to time.  I have to take out the battery to get it back alive.   It suffers probaby some electronics problems.  I guess the ...

Go minimalist with the 7-18 and the 45mm. The 45 is great for moutain landscapes where you want some background compression and indoor portraits. I use the 12 f/2 +45 mm for moutaineering.  Last ...

Thx for the comment! The reality was more violent. Wind forecast was 150 km/hr. On the ridge we had to make a "demi tour".   We were simply blown to the ground. steven
