Tech Review: Olympus E-P2 w/ 17mm f/2.8 & VF-2



It’s the vector that modern photography is taking … digital. Recently, over the last 4 months all of the photo labs in my area have either gone out of business or went dry (which means they no longer develop in house). As such, I was having to send off all my rolls of film for up to two weeks to get developed. Much to my dismay, I came to the decision to move into a strictly digital setup. My main camera is a Nikon DSLR so digital wasn’t new to me. Over the course of a week, I sold all my film-based cameras (other than my Polaroid land Camera 450) and bought the Olympus E-P2 bundle w/ 17mm f/2.8 Prime M. Zuiko lens, and the VF-2 electronic view finder (EVF). I don’t want to bore you with a huge write up on how I decided on the Olympus E-P2, but after some serious research I decided on the E-P2. If you’re really curious the primary reason I chose the E-P2 is its High ISO capability and in-camera (vs. in-lens) image stabilization.

Not Gone …



Just wanted to tell the world I am not gone, nor has the site been abandoned. As some of you know I am a grad student and I have been overly swamped with school. However I hope to be back at it within the next few weeks. Below is a sneak peek at what’s in store …

A review of the Olympus E-P2, pack film Polaroid tutorial, Tokina 12-24 f/4 review, a review of Adoramapix’s photobooks, blog posts from two photo road trips planned for mid-July and early August, and lastly I am adding a new section to the site … a print store. The Print store is where you will be able to purchase my limited edition prints directly from me, all hand signed and numbered. In addition, I’ll be running a contest or two, the gallery will be updated, AND I’ll finally get the Wedding gallery up and running.

So, bear with me and I promise I’ll make it worth the wait.
