In this video, I’m using my Panasonic G9 micro four thirds camera with Canon FD lenses. I show you my set up and the adapter I use to mount these older manual lenses to my modern digital camera.

Canon FD lenses have always been known for their high quality. The manual focus is beautifully smooth and they are quite affordable in the used market compared to today’s modern auto focus equivalents. I really like using them on both my Canon F1 film camera and adapted onto my G9 when I want to shoot digital.

This is my trip out to a local wildflower meadow where the wild orchids were abundant and in full bloom.

A video about the Panasonic GH5 was inevitable. It only took me what, about 2 years? :) Is the Panasonic GH5 still a good camera in 2019? Let’s find out together! I hope you’ll enjoy the video!

Here are the 5 best reasons that I came up with to choose a micro 4/3 camera over a full frame camera. Hopefully you guys understand and don’t unsubscribe just from the title. This video does NOT claim that micro 4/3 cameras are better than full frame, it’s simply a video listing off 5 reasons why a micro 4/3 camera might be better for you (as it is for me.)

If you want to know which is the best “light” tripod ccheck out this new Dpreview test. they compared these four:

Gitzo 1545T (Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama).
Peak Design Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod (BHphoto, Adorama)
Manfrotto BeFree GT (Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama).
Surui N1204SK (Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama).

This is a very unusual set. The Walimex 500mm F8 lens and an old M42 Vivitar 2x teleconverter at 2000mm equivalent (comes with different brand names like Bower, Samyang, Fotga, Beroflex, Danubia…) using the E-PL5:

ePhotozine published this curious Olympus G. Zuiko 40mm f/1.4 AUTO-S (PEN-F) Review. The verdict:

Whilst the lens is very pleasurable to use, in a technical sense the results are not particularly exciting. However, as always, if we are exploring a different, vintage look for our images then maybe this could be just the optic to make that difference and let our shots stand out. It’s all about creativity, and after all, we don’t buy, say, a Lensbaby to take pictures of test charts.

Hopefully, we can now see what the potential might be, and if this is available at the right price then any individual photographer will know what they are buying and exactly why they are buying it.

Of course this lens is available used on eBay only.
