A friend and neighbor of mine liked my Olympus E-M5 Mark I so much that he decided to purchase the Mark II which had been introduced about the time we were talking. He really loved that camera until…One month after it was out of warranty, the EVF failed. When Olympus—not OM Systems, this was before the change—decided that one month was still outside the warranty period…

Ever since my friend Mark Toal introduced me to the Panasonic Lumix system at a press event for the Panasonic Lumix G5 at Sonoma Raceway in 2012, I’ve been using Micro Four-thirds cameras for almost all of my studio portraits.

The most important characteristics that any studio lighting system can have are the quality, color and quantity of its output’s. The kind of hardware you use can have an impact on both of these aspects but the quality of the light can further be affected by your choice of light modifiers, such as umbrellas and soft boxes.

Because of the kind of infrared images I like to make, I like to use wide-angle lenses because I think they have more impact than those shot with longer or even “normal” focal length lenses. Hey, maybe I’m wrong.
