    Leica M8 - Back from Leica Check-Up Today!

    Leica M8, later serial no. 3329XXX, just arrived home today from Leica NJ. There was no issue at all; I merely took advantage of the service special, in order to get one year coverage. Takes spectacular images. _1070216.jpg by reed_flickr (www.creativeobjective.com), on Flickr It's used...

    A Mini-Project - Perfection Lost

    I've written a little bit about photographing flowers, which has been done to such an extent that it's nearly impossible for me to do something unique. Here's a case in point, with some lovely lotuses, lovely, yet this could be anyone's image: L1004665.jpg by reed_flickr...

    Free Download - First Installment of DMC-G3 Settings Manual

    For any G3 users out there, I have posted the first installment of an ebook I'm putting together about how I set up and use my Lumix G3. I go through detailed settings, and explain not only how I set them, but why. You may not agree with my settings, but at least you'll know what you're...

    Last night, I had the pleasure of attending a talk by Jodi Cobb at the National Geographic Live's Masters of Photography Series, in Washington, DC. Jodi has been everywhere, and is expert in getting deep into secret societies, showing the human perspective. She has documented the highs and...

    Photo Recovery from Tsunami-Stricken Japanese Coast

    I read this story about a Japanese photographer (and team) restoring and documenting personal photos recovered from the wreckage of last year's tsunami. I find it inspirational, both from a human perspective, and from a photographer's perspective: DMC-365 - My Year with Lumix Camera Equipment...

    Surprising (Good) Performance From G3 at iso 6400

    Hi Everyone, I took my new G3 to a concert the other night, and shot at iso6400 with the Lumix 100-300 f4-5.6 zoom. Not your typical concert rig, right? Pretty slow f-stop. I thought I'd give the G3 a worst-case low light scenario. I think it came through in flying colors...

    Hyperfocal Setting on Lumix Cameras

    I was able to find out that the DMC-GF1 automatically sets hyperfocal distance if you set the f-stop, put the camera in manual focus mode, then cycle the power. I have not completely confirmed that the same works on the G3, but a quick test now sure looks that way. I have a post on this on my...

    DMC-LX5 images

    I sure hope I'm not missing something obvious, but I don't see an LX5 image post. Here's a start of one: First two shots are HDR (which is so easy, especially now that I've set it up as one of my custom settings). Remainder are single images. P1030017_HDR.jpg by reed_flickr...

    Back in Love with an Old Leica

    Cheers for Leica Service USA!

    After all of the reviews I've read about Leica Service in NJ, I think I owe them a positive one. My second hand M8 developed a vertical red line. I was completely honest with them, letting them know I was not the original owner, and sent along several images for their review with my camera...

    M4/3 photography trip report, Yanaka, Tokyo, Japan

    I quickly scanned the forum rules and didn't see any issues with posting a link to a little trip report I wrote on another forum. If I missed it, please remove this posting, and accept my apology. However, I thought the M4/3 users here may be interested as well. Comments and criticism are...

    Lumix LX2 Macros - from kayak

    I've taken up kayaking recently - much too late of a start, actually. I really enjoy it, and find it relaxing as well as physically invigorating. My favorite little cam to carry in my waterproof bag is the Lumix LX2. Here are a couple of closeups I shot this morning while paddling around. I...

    Just shipped off my 'lux

    Thought I'd share a danger of upgrading to digital - the ability to rapidly test your lenses! My new (used) M8 focuses very well with my Summicron 50. However, I've noticed that I'm just not pleased with the images from my Summilux 35 (pre-aspheric) on the camera. Yesterday, I did a little...
