An Eye-Opening Experience & The Power Of Olympus

Ever since I got the Sony A7II, I have been using it almost exclusively, apart from my trip to UAE where it made sense to pack a MFT kit due to its small size, versatility and auto-focus (Will be covered in a different post. The pictures are ready). To be honest, I was having too much fun playing with the A7II and both the Zeiss and the legacy lenses while ignoring my Olympus kit, to the extent that I decided one day to sell all of my MFT kit and only keep the Sony with the single autofocus lens that I own. And indeed I put my MFT kit for sale, only to decline the first few offers I received. I just didn't have the courage to do it. But I kept using the Sony.

Optimizing My Gear

 
We all love playing with new camera gear, but sometimes things can get out of hand to an extent that makes you feel un-easy. That's our story today.

Long Term Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 75mm f/1.8

This is one of them posts where I don't know where to start. The 75 f/1.8 has been reviewed all over the internet, and I don't want to repeat what other reviewers said (as best as I can; at least), so how do I approach this review then? For those who don't like long reads, I will sum up the review in one sentence at the beginning, then go into more details in whatever order the thoughts spring to my mind, with a lot of pictures for demonstration. So here we go.

A Quick, Simple 2/3 Lights Setup

The final result

 

I received a request from an anonymous commenter to show the lighting setup and the processing done to a picture of my daughter wearing a scarf. And since I didn't have any BTS pictures of the setup, I decided to shoot a similar picture, in the same place, with the same scarf, and show the lighting steps as I progressed.
