    Bugs Show 'Insect'

    I love the platyball. The one-handed adjustment works like a dream and the panorama is smooth as butter. I have the one with led leveller. Easy to set the tension just enough so you can move the camera after the subject but the camera stays in place if you let it go. It may take a.little...

    Bugs Show 'Insect'

    Experimenting with a new combination. Really irritating that the iso was still on 640 :-(. The short focal distance is just incredible (just over 1m i comparison to a FF (I am sure someone will dispute this :-D ) These photos taken using the PD travel tripod and Platyball Head. Single shot -...

    GAS GAS: Please Share your Latest Acquisitions Big and Small

    Finally, after watching these two products and their successful launches via kickstarter, I have invested in the Peak Design Travel Tripod and the Platypod Platyball Elite. The quality and usability certainly live up to the hype.

    Micro 4/3 Showcase Olympus M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO

    The short focus range of the 40-150 + tc2.0 is SHORT rung 70cm. I compared this against a Nikon 600mm which had a focal distance of 440cm. In terms of quality this may not be up there with the best, but for me, weight, focal distance, and last, but certainly not least, the price!!! These...

    I was thinking the same thing. Seems like this is the only thread for the 40-150. I also love this lens and have now treated myself to the TC2.0. It is another level, and light (well in comparison to the FF alternatives!) May as well spark some life back into this thread

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 12-100/4 Pro: Flexibility vs Portability

    First outing with the new 12-100 - LOVE IT. Sharp as a tack. And moving from the PL 12-60, that little bit extra (80mm) is just what I have been missing for photographing moving horses on x-country course (pics later). Couple of DOOC shots from today - No post processing.
