Went to lunch recently with a group of folks from SeriousCompacts.com and had a fun time chatting about gear. I haven’t done a lot of meetups with people that I know online, but the ones that I have done have been generally good. Having a common interest always helps to get semi-strangers talking.

If your interested in the Nikon V1 and the Nikon 1 system, here’s a collection of my most interesting posts: Nikon V1 Compendium Enjoy!

Go out and take pictures with you current camera. *Judging by the contents of my camera drawer, I would understand if you judged me completely incapable of following my own advice.

Panasonic LX7 with the Pentax K-5 + FA43 thrown in for good measure. I also brought the Pentax Q but the LX7 got the bulk of the workout. The Panny’s fast zoom makes it well suited to street work, from a fast and wide 24mm F1.4 to a still fast telephoto 90mm F2.3 that lets me…

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…
