finally going through and editing some of my practice photos with my new favorite #m43 lens; the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 25mm f/1.8

i didn't make a New Lens Day post about it (sorry i have been Swamped lately) but when i've been able to get out and about and test it i've been more than happy with the results!

Another hobby I got besides #photography , its a #fountainpen . Apparently the proper handling of them is not really taught in many schools around the globe, but I grew up with them. This photo was made when I was refilling this TWSBI eco in a spur of the moment. Unfortunately I don't own any macro lenses for such occasions but the lighting straight to the jpeg looked surprisingly good.

If you are reading this and considering a fountain pen for yourself..its an expensive hobby. Lamys tend to dry out quickly but are cheap and good. Theses TWSBI are quite sealed but sometimes the nib is a lottery and not all of them are perfect. Also they are very susceptible to iso-propranolol, something to be aware of.

@gr36 Might micro 4/3 format cameras work? I don't do much photography, but that's the system my Girlfriend and I ended up in. Price was ok, lenses not ridiculously expensive, still had options, shoots raw and takes very nice photos.

It's been a while since I've managed to write anything #photography related on my site. I just kept getting writer's block and so didn't force myself. But now I've finally managed to pen a new piece!

So here's my practical real world shooting experience as to why "downgrading" from #FullFrame to #MicroFourThirds wasn't really downgrade.

2/5 #infrared
From my first snaps with a newly converted #fullspectrum #Olympus EM1ii in my local park.

A frantic search for filters that fitted a suitable lens led to a #fourthirds 35mm f3.5 macro lens - which is sharp and works well for distance shots as well as close-ups. (The zooms were too big for my filters and the primes too small).

Having a #microfourthirds #ir camera makes it easier to take it away with me as it has the same battery and lenses as my main EM1iii camera. And I had managed to scratch the glass over the sensor on the ii with some overenthusiastic lens adaption.
