So it happens that I hear from my niece, and we agree to a meeting somewhere distant enough, so that we can share a walk, a little art, gorgeous food, and gossip aplenty. Milan fits the bill, and after sometime on the train there we are - and we head to the Bosch exhibit. Not only paintings...

Cosina has announced two new lenses designed for Fujifilms X-Mount under their Voigtländer brand in order to extent the already existing trio. First there is another 50'ish equiv. lens with the Nokton 35mm f0.9 lens. It is quite a bit bulkier and heavier than the 35mm f1.2 weighting 492gr...

My Ona Brixton has been to six continents, survived all sorts of weather, done tremendous service. It's easily recommended, and it's still fantastic several years after buying it, and I will still use it. Sadly it's too small for the 32cm long lens I just bought. So I'm on the hunt for a new...

You know, all this waiting started to bite. then we got on the car and headed north to meet the tribe. Each one eager for a chat and the rain.

Yes, it's been bandied about but according to Fuji Rumors it's true. Yes, I know it's a rumor site but they are often right. https://www.fujirumors.com/breaking-fujifilm-x-h2-coming-with-two-different-sensors/ It's not a bad idea as long as Fuji can make it commercially viable.

Heartbreaking pretty today. Cheers, Jock

My long time friends celebrated 20 years as a band. They had people come out who have been in the band over the years and play. It was a great show. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Former guitarist Travis Mudd 10 11 12 13 other former guitarist in the background who's name I never...

This is not a rousing two thumbs-up film recommendation. It also wasn't a dud. I would say if you like photographs of old people or are inclined towards documentaries, it's worth the hour and 10 minutes it takes to watch it. My grandparents moved to Florida in the late 60s and we would visit...

All romanced with the Picasa "I'm feeling lucky" button. Cheers, Jock

Shot this today at Peebles Island: crow waaaaaay up in a tree and heavily backlit. So I ran it through DXO 11's backlighting correction: then sky enhancement from Luminar 3: I think I like the result. Cheers, Jock
