I have previously sold off my Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm F1.8 and upgraded to the 25mm F1.2 PRO, which I have used for many years. Recently I found myself wishing for a smaller 50mm equivalent lens solution for my Micro Four Thirds set up especially when I am doing street photography. I found a used unit at a great price, so I reacquired the Olympus 25mm F1.8, and I brought it out for some shutter therapy sessions. The particular set of images

This is a continuation of the mini review series for the Meike 85mm F1.4 lens for Nikon Z full frame mirrorless system. I brought the lens out on the streets of Kuala Lumpur for some shutter therapy action, and I mounted the lens on my own Nikon Z5. The lens is on the larger and heavier side of things, but still manageable on the Nikon Z5, without feeling out of balanced, and handling was quite comfortable for extended shooting durations. The

Meike sent me their 85mm F1.4 full frame lens for Nikon Z mirrorless system and I brought the lens out for some testing sessions, shooting with my Nikon Z5 camera. I have done a mini review video; you can check it out here (click). Basically, I am quite impressed with the optical performance of the Meike 85mm F1.4 lens, it renders very sharp images with good contrast and beautiful bokeh, and it manages the lens flaws quite well. There is nothing

Photographic Society of Petaling Jaya had a live panel discussion on main stage at Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival 2024 which happened last weekend. The topic of discussion was Photo Club in Social Media Age, and there were three panelists, moderated by my friend Raja Indra Putra, who is the advisor for PSPJ. I took this opportunity to grab some quick shots and work the camera, satisfying my shutter itch. I was using the Sony NEX-6 (yes, more about this in future

When I saw this camera on sale online I just cannot resist pressing the "buy" button. I have always been a huge fan of Lego. However, growing up in a poor family I did not have the luxury of owning or playing much with Lego, and I was always jealous of my other friends who have them. Now that I am a working adult and I can afford my own toys, it is just tempting not to get the Lego camera,

I found the Olympus M.Zuiko 75-300mm F4.8-6.7 II in the used marketplace at such irresistibly low price I just had to nab it. I paired it with the OM System OM-1 and brought them to the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park. This was my first time shooting the Olympus 75-300mm II lens on the OM-1, I tested the lens on other cameras previously. Obviously I never owned the lens, I borrowed it from Olympus Malaysia, when they still existed and I was

I find it really strange seeing so many photographers worrying about not being good enough. They measure their success through the likes and engagement rate on social media platforms, and when they don't get enough validation, they go down the spiral of misery and depression like it is the end of the world. I understand the importance of having an audience, and I acknowledge that I have benefitted from the strong and supportive photography community over the years I have been

The Olympus PEN E-P3 was the second camera that Olympus Malaysia loaned me for review on this blog, so that camera does have a special place in my heart. It was a bold attempt by Olympus to break expectations and redefine what mirrorless cameras can do, especially when it comes to autofocus performance. Before E-P3, all mirrorless cameras from various camps had a similar issue - AF was sluggish and unreliable when compared to DSLR counterparts with faster and more accurate

Sunday has become the default photowalk day for most of my friends, as they do have weekday office jobs and weekend means time for some camera action. I have adjusted my shutter therapy allocation hours to accommodate these friends, sometimes it is just more fun to go out with a few like-minded people and enjoy photography as a group activity. As much as I enjoy shooting solo, I do admit we humans are social creatures, and being in a group can
