  • 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…


  • 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…


  • Heading out soon to photograph my friends’ precocious little one year old. This is what I’m bringing: Pentax K-5 with gripK-01DA21mm F3.2 LimitedDA70mm F2.4 LimitedFA31mm F1.8 LimitedFA43mm F1.9 Limited That’s it. 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. I have a Pentax K-Micro Four-Thirds adapter with an aperture ring, but it’s never instilled confidence in its construction, and…


  • FYI, I started a group on Google + where it’s all about the photos – Photo Critique. No gear discussion is allowed and we operate by one simple rule – we ask that everyone that posts a photo give back to the community by critiquing another photo in the group. That’s it. We of course expect civil…
