Lumix G9ii is the best yet — long-term review
I’ve used the Lumix G9ii for many months now. I’ve taken it on Safari, shot two wedding films, taken it to California, and filmed a dozen YouTube videos and more. The Lumix G9ii is almost perfect, and certainly the best micro four thirds camera ever made. Those are big words. But. it’s true! Let me tell you why…
Laowa 25mm f0.95 review
What an interesting lens! You can get some fantastic low light images with this lens, but it isn’t without its quirks. Check out all my photo examples and full review here.
American Road Trip - part #2 — Zion National Park, Las Vegas
I’ve been to Zion national park twice before, and until I went to Yosemite it was my favourite national park. Zion is blummin’ stunning. It has a bit of everything — red desert stone, green trees, blue water. It’s great.
This time we decided to do a nice simple walk called the Canyon Overlook Trail. It’s just about a mile round trip. The view at the end is just… amazing. It’s about as good as Angel’s Landing and you don’t have to kill yourself to see it.
American Road Trip - part #1 — Sequoia National Park and Yosemite
Two weeks.
7 national parks over 4 states.
2200 miles driven.
Hopefully a lot of nice photos to show for it! I took with me my Lumix GH5, and my Lumix S1, with a handful of lenses. Because clearly I don’t value my own back, or take heed to luggage allowances. I totally over-packed. But hey! I am a Nerd.
Olympus 60mm f2.8 Macro review — photo examples
Fun fact: the Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro lens is the lens that convinced me to switch to micro four thirds. I tried it in a shop on an Olympus Pen F. I took a penny out of my pocket and started shooting. I fell in love with the lens there and then. Here are my thoughts and some photo examples of the Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro lens for micro four thirds.

3 Reasons why your camera gear doesn't matter (and 1 time when it does)
There have been a lot of weighty discussions lately about gear. The Sensor Size War of 2019 is still raging online where ever you look. It’s all a big stupid, isn’t it? Here are my thoughts on the matter.
Olympus Pen F Review. Still a contender?
The Olympus Pen F is a super (and I mean super) stylish camera that was aimed squarely towards high-end consumers when it first came out. As the price slowly slips over the years, it’s getting a bit of a cult following, so I thought I’d review the Pen F in 2019. Is it still worth considering?
7Artisans 60mm f2.8 macro lens REVIEW
The 7Artisans 60mm f2.8 macro lens is pretty darn impressive. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one before its release. Here are my findings, along with loads of test images.
7Artisans 7.5mm f2.8 Fisheye Review - Real World Results
The 7Artisans 7.5mm f2.8 fisheye lens is such a gem. I can’t believe the price of it compared to the results it can give you. I’ve been using it steadily for over 3 months now, for everything from astrophotography to every day walk-about photography. Here are my thoughts, and loads of photo examples for you to take a look at.
Lumix G7 Review — Still a contender in?
The Lumix G7 in many ways was a revelation when it was first released. It was one of the most affordable ways to get 4k, and it all came in a brilliantly thought-out small camera body too.
But it was released in (hold onto your hats!) 2015, which seems like an age in Photography Land.
So is it still worth a consideration in 2015? Well, I still have one. I still use my G7 — both professionally and personally — and I blummin’ love it. But of course, like any camera, it is far from perfect. So let’s dive in!

Micro Four Thirds isn’t for everyone. Have a read to see if it’s for you. There are many pros and cons to the m43 system, and for me, the benefits far outweigh the negatives (and there are negatives!) but it all depends on you, and what you want to achieve. So let’s get stuck in.
