3453 - The Shadow of a Sundial


Interesting. Quite a few of the last images were taken with the Olympus 60/2.8 macro lens. None of the images is a macro of course, but I really, really like this lens. I like the tight perspective and I like the light weight.

I tend to carry three lenses at any time. If I’m on vacation or in Carinthia and using the car, I frequently use the three pro lenses. To Vienna I normally travel lighter though. Something like 12-17-45 or 12-25-45 or even 12-25-75 are my go-to triples when I lust for primes. The 60/2.8 may at times take the part of the long lens in such a triple, but if I need it light and flexible, I may also couple it with the 9-18 and the 25/1.8. That’s how I travel today.

Andreas, Beautiful images! Keep up the great work. I think you should just get a Fujifilm X Pro 2 and the 35mm f1.4 R. http://www.thephoblographer.com/2016/03/31/review-fujifilm-x-pro-2/#.VwFS8nqf7s2 Less is more. Zoom with your feet, sell all those lenses.

Cameras don't matter anymore. We're back to where we were in film days. Everything is good enough. So is mine 🙂 But then: I've just bought a used Olympus PEN E-P5 in silver, with VF-4 electronic viewfinder, as a second body. Believe me, it looks just as good as the Fuji, especially with all those silver primes 😄
