Self Portrait in Red Pentax Q with 01 Prime Head in the Clouds (But Not Quite Magritte) Panasonic LX7 Self Portrait on the Train Panasonic LX7

A ridiculously inexpensive Pentax Q with the 02 Zoom 5-15mm f/2.8-4.5 (27.5-83mm EQ) is now part of the stable. I’m planning on doing some in-car multicam video soon, and this kit came closest to my requirements (28mm EQ focal length, 1080P HD, Image Stabilization). I also wanted 60FPS and a mic input, which the Q…

Been distracted by this thing called “work” lately so I haven’t been able to post. But I wanted to stop in and make sure that there’s actually a photo (instead of a chart) at the top of the page…. Taken with the ever-handy Pentax Q with the 01 Standard Prime. I take it with me…

So how much does it cost to build a 3-prime kit with one of those fancy new mirrorless/CSC cameras? Now I’ve written a lot about the quality of the Pentax K-01 images, and you can get a nice 3 prime setup for just under $1500. But cheaper still is a Sony NEX with the 5n…

I was going to bring the DA* zooms but then I looked at the photos I’d taken six months ago and the DA70 and…

…A new piece of gear, the Pentax FA43mm F1.9 Limited lens. I’ve been gravitating towards Pentax lenses with aperture rings lately, so that I can control the aperture when shooting video with my Panasonic GH2.

There are those days where most of it is spent doing what you must do, not what you want to do. The stuff that pays the mortgage and keeps the client/boss/higher-up/whomever happy, but otherwise feels like a prison, no matter how gilded they may be. Ain’t adulthood grand?
