Kevin Carroll: “I recently created a video of my trip to Tokyo. It was shot with a panasonic g6 and the 12-35 2.8 zoom. The g6 is a fantastic underrated camera for video. I hope the new proposed gx8 incorporates some of the neat features unique for this camera at this price point and missing from the gx7 like a headphone jack smile emoticon Kev

Anonymous: “Famous Russian designer discusses OLYMPUS logo design: http://tema.livejournal.com/1914143.html. Have never noticed before but now I see that old Oly logo is really better :)”
Patrick Ward: “My new book, “BEING ENGLISH”, is just published….a record of the English at play over the past fifty years….and that is NOT a miss-print! Inevitably a lot of the book was recorded on that old fashioned thing called film but the better news is that much of the book was also shot on the Olympus OM1. It felt like coming home when the EM1 came out!

Dario Viola: “A 500mm f8 zeiss mirotar on the field, Contax CY mount the lens is a mirror tele photo, so very compact, no iris control so is fix on f8, complicate focusing, but it delivers an interesting image: https://vimeo.com/114368240”
Vassilios Zacharitsev: “In light of the E-M5 mk2 introduction: a discussion of today’s shifting camera sensor technology, and going beyond the obvious image stabilization capabilities in the near future: http://www.eyesuncloudedphoto.com/blog/2015/2/19/the-mighty-ibis”
R.J. DeGuzman43rumors: “Got my E-M5mk2 in yesterday and the rear dial didn’t work! D’oh! Oly shooters be sure to check your dials. With all the free time I had, because I didn’t have a fully functioning camera to play around with, I made a quick video clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBX2-h62jAM”

Nathan: “I’m Nate Cowlishaw, photographer, with 50,000 followers on Instagram @talking_tree. My Instagram community inspired me start a Kickstarter project and with no marketing budget we reached $8,000+ in just a few days: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wowflutes/the-great-southwestern-suzuki-adventure-0
For the last 15 years I’ve been working on a portfolio focused on the Desert Southwest. The Kickstarter project will help me reach a finale. I am doing this 9,500 mile, 65-90 day photography expedition with my Suzuki Vitara in Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Luisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Colorado. I will be taking unique photos that combine human culture & natural environments because in reality, humanity is truly inseparable from these natural landscapes. I wanted to make this available to a wider audience than just my followers and thought it might fit for your readers. Hope you enjoy it.”
