Olympus and Panasonic introduced the Micro Four-thirds format during Photokina 2008. Unlike the original Four-Thirds system, MFT’s specifications did not provide space for a mirror box and pentaprism, permitting the design of smaller bodies with a shorter (under 20mm) flange focal distance that in turn allowed production of smaller lenses.

The number one question I get from photographers during PhotoWalks and workshops is about how they can obtain “proper exposure.”

I’ve been using LensPen products for a long time, for almost the entire time they’ve been in production going back to a time when I was shooting with Nikon film cameras, And even today, I keep one of the Original Lenspens in each of my camera bags.

Back in the day when every amateur or professional photographer shot with film, photo labs would often receive a roll of 36-exposure 35mm film from their customers for processing and when the prints rolled off their FujiFilm Frontier (or whatever) it would contain photographs that were made during Christmas, Easter and Vacation—all on the same roll

There’s more to black and white photography than just a lack of color. As a creative medium, traditionalists may call it “monochrome” while digital imagers prefer “grayscale” but to paraphrase Billy Joel, “it’s still black and white to me.”
