Fujifilm Should Bring Back The XF10!

I purchased the Fuji XF10 in 2020 because I found one at a very good price, and I was curious about a "Ricoh GR III alternative". I did shoot with the camera for a year or two and gave it to a friend, because I no longer used it as often as other cameras that I have. Fast forward to 2025, I thought it would be a great time to revisit this camera, so I borrowed it (took it back for

Azul Adnan & Grace Ho Launches A New Photobook: 'Under The Shadows of Merdeka'

My friends Azul Adnan and Grace Ho have just launched a new photobook titled "Under The Shadows Of Merdeka". This was a one year long project in collaboration with PNB Merdeka Ventures and Think City, documenting the scenes, surrounding activities, people and happenings around the areas surrounding the Merdeka 118 building (currently standing at the second tallest in the world). I am so happy to see the project finally coming to fruition, and the book is now published and available for

VIltrox 35mm F1.7 on Nikon Z50 II - A Quick Impression

In all the midst of chaos and crazy packed schedule, I managed to squeeze in some time to do a quick review for the Viltrox 35mm F1.7. Viltrox sent me the lens but I made sure I have full control on what I have to say here as well as on my video published on YouTube (here). I managed to test the lens on a Nikon Z50 II which was loaned from Futuromic Malaysia (official distributor for Nikon in Malaysia) and

Giving A Talk For Nikon At Futuromic Malaysia

I was approached by Futuromic Malaysia (official distributor for Nikon in Malaysia) to do a project on their latest camera, the Nikon Z50 II. At first I thought it would be something to do with me reviewing the camera, or shooting some sample images with the camera to be shared on their socials. When I asked further it was none of the above assumptions I have made, in fact they wanted me to do something with my YouTiube, about making a

Smallest Micro Four Thirds '28mm' Setup: Panasonic GM1 + 14mm F2.5

I have always loved shooting with 28mm equivalent wide angle for my street photography especially when I am doing environmental portraits. I believe Micro Four Thirds has the best setup for 28mm street shooting - Panasonic GM1 + 14mm F2.5 lens. This combo is so compact, yet it performs so well and can deliver amazing results. This is truly what Micro Four Thirds is all about, truly tiny footprint that can produce impressive big results! I brought the GM1 and 14mm

Quick Street Shooting At Medan, Indonesia

I may have mentioned in my recent blog entries that I was in Medan, Indonesia in the last weekend of 2024 for a wedding shoot. During that short travel, I did not have much time for myself, but I managed to squeeze in a bit of shutter therapy time. It was a day after the wedding, on a Sunday morning, and I had about several hours of street walk time before returning to hotel at 11am, and checking out at 12pm.

Nikon 28mm F2.8 Z Mini Review

I recently added the Nikon 28mm F2.8 Z into my Nikon Z system arsenal mainly because I needed a wide-angle coverage for my street shooting. I have the venerable 40mm F2 Z, so adding the brother lens 28mm F2.8 Z makes sense - both are compact-sized, budget prime lens designed primarily for street shooters. I found the Nikon 28mm F2.8 Z on Lazada (online retail store here in Malaysia) at such a good price during a recent sales event, I just

Starting The New Year With An Old Camera - PENTAX Q

Happy New Year 2025 to all you awesome people out there! Thanks for still visiting this space, and I appreciate your patronage here. To kick start the new year, let's play with something not so new - the Pentax Q! It is almost impossible to find a Pentax Q in Malaysia, I am not even sure if it was ever sold here, and I was very lucky to nab one recently in the used market. I brought the Pentax Q out for
