Olympus 8-25mm f/4 Pro Review

Posted on July 2, 2024 by ShutterBug

The Olympus 8-25mm f/4 Pro lens is a wide-angle zoom lens built for the Micro Four Thirds format. With an impressive 16-50mm full-frame equivalent focal length, the Olympus 8-25mm f/4 Pro lens covers most landscape photography needs. It even acts as a nifty fifty when zoomed in, giving it an unusually wide range for everyday photography. With a maximum aperture of just f/4, it’s not the fastest lens in my bag, though. Do the pros outweigh the cons? I’ll answer that question in today’s review of the Olympus 8-25mm f/4 Pro.

Photography News: A Sigma Lens for Canon RF, Memory Card Sales

Posted on June 30, 2024 by ShutterBug

Before you swat that annoying mosquito that’s just sucking your blood, hold on. This week is Insect Week. I have generously given a lot of blood to mosquitos over the past few weeks and didn’t even get any photos of them in return. Instead, I tried to photograph butterflies in flight. With a fairly heavy 500mm lens, this is quite a challenge, but great fun and excellent practice for photographing birds in flight. Just give it a try. But before you head out to a meadow somewhere, check out the photography news as we approach the halfway point of 2024.

Is Photography a Numbers Game?

Posted on June 28, 2024 by ShutterBug

I’m not sure precisely when I crossed 100,000 photos, but I’m well past that mark now. In another few weeks, my Lightroom catalog will hit 200,000. Even these might be rookie numbers if you’re a sports or wildlife photographer, or if you’ve been doing wedding photography for a while.
