Free, Joel? Really?

As big a Leica fanboy as I am, I have seldom bought a Leica lens for new. The penultimate time was long ago, with a MP a la carte came my Summicron 50 mm that still serves me well. The last time was yesterday.

Going Steady on a Pro Zoom

GAS in the kitchen!

If you forego the current version of Nikon’s 24 – 70 mm f/2.8 Pro zoom and instead get the version before that, you can save a lot of money. I did when I got a used Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24- 70 mm f/2.8 G ED the day before yesterday. Been putting it to the test since, here are some first results:

Second Shooter

Autofocus sensors right to the edge of the frame

My main DSLR, a Nikon D 800, is 4 years old and has 80000 actuations. Should I trust it to work flawlessly during this year’s photo projects (especially my son’s wedding)? Not without a backup body, no, I won’t.

Shots From Düsseldorf

The Rhine

Like every year, I’m at a week-long CME event in Düsseldorf. When I’m not sitting in lectures and workshops, I roam the city in search of pictures:

Color Loss and Gain

Ice Abstract

A word of warning first. You loose something when you get a Leica M monochrom.

Vodcasting from the Heart of Texas

May I introduce? Texas Leica.

A mixed bag of topics in this post. About two weeks ago, the Fuji GW6800III arrived from Japan.

JPEG Submarine

Baltic Sea Reflections

The long-awaited holidays I have written about in a previous post started with a visit to my parents, who live at the Baltic Sea. My youngest daughter came with me and while bathing in the aforementioned sea, I became inspired to take aquatic photos.

I got this to do them with.

So, a NIKON Coolpix AW120. Who thinks of these names?
