Be Straight And Honest.
Seit Samstag früh bin ich jetzt vom rosa Riesen abgeklemmt. Ich habe zwar einen teueren “Businesstarif”, der mir 8 Stunden Entstörung des Anschlusses garantiert, aber das giltet halt angeblich nicht, wenn es sich um eine “Massenstörung” handelt. Also wenn mehr Leute betroffen sind. Das hat zur Folge, dass ich seit […]
Es ist wieder so weit, heute reguläres FolyFos, trotz der aktuellen Ereignisse. Wir reden über die neue Kamera, neue Branchengerüchte und haben einen tollen Interviewgast.
Ich werde in den letzten Tagen vermehrt nach gedruckten Kamerabüchern gefragt. Gerade für die OM-1. “Wenn Sie ein gedrucktes Buch herausgeben, würde ich, sofern möglich, verbindlich eines bestellen.” Ich habe es in den letzten Jahren abgelehnt, Bücher zu drucken. Das hat mehrere Gründe. Der Verlag, der mich deswegen angeschrieben hat, […]
No photo is worth having a tree fall on your head for it. And a thick branch is enough to blow out the light. I was on the road with the fire department during Kyrill in 2007. While some of them were clearing the road, there was always someone with […]
Until Valentine’s Day there was a 20% discount in the Olympus Store. Not only on the E-M10IIIs, but also on merchandise. For example, also on an Olympus softshell jacket. In the past, the jackets had an unmistakable “OM-D” on the back, but the current ones are just black on the […]
Image theft is normal on the Internet. Everyone steals everything. You can now just enter an image in the google image search and see what comes up. This is a bit tedious, if you want to check a website like pen-and-tell, with meanwhile 5410 images. You have to take a […]
Die diesmal korrekten Specs posten natürlich die von OMDS bevorzugt bedienten Kollegen und natürlich auch OMDS selbst. Das muss ich hier nicht machen. Und den Vergleich der tatsächlichen Specs mit den diversen “geleakten” Informationen aus gaaanz sicherer Quelle kann jeder selbst machen, der sich die Zeit nimmt. Auch diverse Packages […]
I have now collected what I have accumulated in the last 20 years of Olympus batteries. From left to right: FS-BN1. This is the battery pack for the FS-HV1, the high-voltage pack for the FL-50 and Fl-50R. (Anyone else remember this flash?) The packs have almost all died by now, […]
In the mFT system, there has been a fast 20mm almost since the beginning. The Panasonic 20mm f/1.7. It is actually offered in version 2. And Panasonic sent it to me. We shot part of this video with the 20mm Pana anno 2010 with the Olympus E-P2: The E-P2s were […]
Since 2009 this blog is running now. Always in German. Because I saw no reason to write it in English. Sure, I had English-speaking readers from the beginning, especially when the blog was still running on Blogspot, you could see exactly where the visitors came from. But since I never […]
I am a journalist. A journalist is someone who interviews people and builds an overall picture from many small snippets, from whose publication he lives. At least that’s how it should be. For this to work in the long run – outside of Q-bubbles – several factors are necessary: Confidence […]
First of all, the bad news: Olympus has not produced any parfocal FT/mFT lenses yet. I don’t know about Panasonic, I haven’t had all the zooms in test yet. To those who don’t know the term, parfocal means that you focus on a subject with a zoom lens and then […]
