Mirrorless Cameras

It's been a rather tremendous year for Birmingham and as 2014 draws to a
close, the city finds itself included in Top 10 polls. There's a huge
perception change in progress, and it's really wonderful to witness. 

There have been plenty of photo opportunities over the year, and whenever I
can I've been out capturing the city, from the outskirts to the centre. I
thought I'd share my favourite 10 images that I've taken of the city this
year and the stories behind them. I also wanted to take t

Concert photography isn’t something I do every weekend.  The last time I photographed my friends in Snaphammer was 5 years ago.  At the time I was using my Canon 40D DSLR paired with the Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. The Canon 50mm f/1.4 on a crop body is an 80mm equivalent lens,  so it was a... Continue Reading

It's no surprise that consumers and manufacturers alike have spent most of the year with their sights set on the mirrorless camera movement—the cameras are designed to be compact, yet fully featured. Each new release had its own special quality or feature, as well as leaps in improvement over the past generation of digital cameras. So, let’s look at the most prominent developments of 2014. Sony

This is part two of my three part Fuji X Series Buyer's guide. Please visit part one to read my introduction to this series and read my thoughts on the wide array of Fuji X cameras that are on the market. As stated in my camera post, the following information is simply my personal opinion on the…

After a few months of using the Olympus OMD EM-10, I've had ample time to
evaluate my first experience with a Mirrorless camera. Since picking it up
in August, I've rarely left the house without it. To keep things ultra
small and stealthy, I started with just one lens, the Olympus 17mm f2.8.
 The funny thing is, according to many forums and posts, the camera is
repeatedly referred to as "entry level" and the lens also takes a bad rap.
Rather than countering this with my opinion, I thought

65 photos captured with the Fujifilm X100, X100S or X100T cameras. From Belfast to Paris the X100 range is the perfect travel camera.

I have been a Fuji fan boy since the original X100 and, as you can see from the photo above, I have continued to drink the Fuji juice. That's almost all of my Fuji gear. I have a few things loaned out right now. All I wanted was a small easy to carry camera that…

  In the colorful kingdom of Fujifilm; there live a Portrait King. Its name; the XF 56mm F1.2R. He has been king for very obvious reason in the mirrorless world. A famous household name. Prett...

The Olympus 40-150 mm telephoto lens will benefit any micro four thirds kit. It has a great focal range in a very light, cheap and extremely small package.

Mathieu of MirrorLessons reviews the brand new Loxia 35mm and 50mm for the Sony Full-Frame E-Mount system.

While packing for a recent trip to NYC, I decided to leave my Full-Frame Canon 6D at home and bring instead only my Fujifilm X-E2 and a single "kit" lens, the excellent Fujinon 18-55mm f/2.8-4 medium zoom lens.

Would it sound ironic if I were to mention the speed, and slowed hinderance of manual focus as the two best qualities that this lens can provide a photographer?  Let's be honest, there are not many...

My Fujifilm X100t review could be very simple. Why? Because last year, its predecessor the Fuji X100s became my favourite compact camera. I used it for almost

The light in Berlin is dreary during winter, so I took the NX1 off for a break in the Portuguese city of Lisbon last week. This place has the best weather in Europe and the best light. A magical place. It gave me a perfect chance to get under the skin of the NX1 – and see just whatRead More

4K camera that is very small

Heather of MirrorLessons shares her first impressions about the Panasonic Lumix LX100 after using it for a week.

A question for the DSLR users out there: what is stopping you from switching over to a mirrorless camera?

A few weeks ago Lighting of the Green kicked off the Ch …

According to DxO Mark, the Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* 16-35 f/4 ZA OSS (paired with the Sony A7r) scored higher than either the Canon or Nikon equivalent while remaining smaller and lighter. Zoom lenses are always a game of compromise and I am very happy with the performance of this lens. 

The Zeiss 4/16-35 will definitely be handy for personal work as well. Optical Steady Shot is outstanding for handheld video and I will definitely be putting it to use. My new bag for day trips with the family includes my Sony A7r with the Zeiss 4/16-35 and Zeiss 1.8/55 - one extremely versatile setup.

Though it is far from replacing my primes, the Zeiss 4/16-35 definitely has a secure spot in my bag.
