ThePhoBlographer Panasonic 42.5mm f/1.7 Review: “Small, Yet Spectacular”
ThePhoBlographer tested the Panasonic 42.5mm f/1.7 and concluded:
Despite weighing less than a third of a pound, the lens still offers a solid blend of sharpness and bokeh. With only a focus ring on the lens itself, the lens is also easy for beginners to just mount and shoot. For the price and size, this lens is excellent. I’m giving the Panasonic 42.5mm f1.7 four out of five stars.
Technical note: Youtube videos no longer visible for many
Some readers reported that embedded youtube video appear to not work anymore. I made a quick test and it appears to be related to adblockers no more showing the video if I simply copy and paste the youtube link in my posts. I now tried to embeds the videos using the html code and this seems to work.
Let me know in the comment system if you can see this video or not:
OM photographer and Youtuber has cancer: Big hug and keep on the fight!
As you might have noticed I often do embeds video from the Astrophotography channel “The Narrow Band”. I kind of like his personality, his seriousness and honesty. Today he shared this video where he talks about his stage 4 cancer. I am happy to see him in a good fighter mood! In this video he still finds some energy to talk about his Olympus/OM cameras!
For anyone interested in what he does consider to subscribe his channel. As a personal note: Big hug and keep on the fight! I might one day be so lucky to meet you in person!
