Down time

Posted on November 7, 2016 by Oleg Volk

Just like Bella, I needed the down time this Sunday to kick back and relax. Now, on to the non-stop work for the next two weeks or so. Much catch-up to do.

Looks like the compact camera search is over.

Posted on October 26, 2016 by Oleg Volk

The winner is Panasonic GM5 with 20/1.7 lens, carried in CCW Breakaways pants. The main challenge now is to find a reasonably priced used GM5 body that’s not bundled with a zoom lens. Any pointers?
