    2023-05-16 01:39:51 UTC

    Leica’s first auto-focus, auto-exposure point-and-shoot camera My beloved Olympus µ[mju:]-II is on its last legs. With increasing regularity, I encounter the dreaded ‘lens stuck out’ error, where the camera will take an exposure but the lens will not retract back into the body. I’ve written elsewhere about how much I…

    Panasonic Lumix GX7 with Leica DG Summilux 15mm (silber!) When Olympus announced the sale of their photographic arm, it wasn’t just one company’s camera division on the chopping block, it was the viability of the whole Micro Four Thirds project.  As I wrote in a prior piece on Olympus’s trials…

From grand cultural buildings to small-scale functional infrastructure, raw concrete altered London’s post-war cityscape more than…

  7. So on and Sofort
