Leaked image of the Olympus PEN-F!!

VS

So it didnt look anything like its retro self.....

lets just wait for the silver to come out and maybe loose the handgrip...i think thats what it is...a small handgrip... 

anyway im still excited, lets just wait next week for the official announcement.

Olympus PEN-F 1499 EURO????

Just saw this at 43rumors..... 1499EURO?? are you crazy?? thats pricey....that turns me off.... oh well lets just wait how it turns out to be... if its really fuckin retro than why not? ahahha....

and i initially thought its a fixed lens camera....

Its been a while and less GAS...so i'm not excited to blog but its 2016 and new cameras are coming!!!!! X-Pro2, X70, PEN-F!!!

Hello World....

Its been a while since i last updated my blog... i have less GAS on gears at the moment but i do peek around my two favourite rumors websites, fujirumors and 43rumors.... .. Yes i still love Fuji and although i did bashed Olympus before i do still love it since i dont really print my photos so large vs small sensor doesnt really matter. All i did was looking at those pictures on my 15inch Macbook Pro and both cameras produced great enough images. Even on my friend 27inch iMacs the Olympus was good enough. I'm not printing banners or posters and what not so yea... i do have GAS on the olympus em5 mark ii but not yet pull the trigger. My last GAS was on Fuji X-T10 because it is available in my country. Olympus not so much.

So yeah, another year has passed and now its 2016!!!! Man...time flies like flies if that makes any sense. Gear wise i'm only left with my Leica M8 and Sony Rx100m3. I bought a new not so new lens for my M8, a cheap russian vintage Jupiter 8 lens. Its really cheap and it has focus shift.

I'm so not in love with my Leica M8. I'm just slow at focusing or maybe because my cheap lens has focus shift so another pain the in ass/eye focusing. I'm just spoiled by Olympus blazingly fast focus and the cleaner files of Fujis. With the Leica M8, i'll get false colors and due to camera fault, black cloth turns to purplish. Its a good black and white camera but i love colors too...so yeah....

So its 2016 and new rumored cameras are coming. First its the anticipated Fuji X-Pro2 and the leaks image looks like it has the same body as the old X-pro1.....i hope they come in silver! and it has new sensor! lets hope they get rid of those waxy skins problems at higher isos JPGs....sheeeshhh who wants to look like a mannequin?

. 

X-pro2 leak image taken from fujirumors.

i wish it looked more like a Leica but this is not so bad.

and then they have the new leaked image of rumored X70, a mini X100T, a fixed lens camera with new 28mm FOV lens but no viewfinder built-in. 

not really in love design wise.... it didnt look retro enough to me. More like a Ricoh GR wannabe.

lets wait for the real world image to come up

but still not retro enough me thinks

and then the one rumored camera that i am excited for.....

the Olympus PEN-F!

taken from 43rumors

If it looks anything like this, i'm SOLD

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Style over substance.

ADIDAS..... All Day i Dream about Sony ............. A7S!

I have a bad GAS. I really want to try the Sony A7s. Its a low light monster. I love taking photos in low light. I want to not worry about taking pictures in low light. I have no problem with Fuji although at times skins can look like a mannequin. But the price of the Sony A7S...oh man.... after thinking for quite sometime that camera is definitely out of reach budget wise for now..... i have too many commitments at the moment.... and the sony A7s is just way out of reach..... for 2 grand without lens....ouchy,,,,

To be honest, i just needed new lenses, which is cheaper than a brand new Sony body... my Leica M8 is dying for new lenses but i dunno.... just something about me... i dun really invest on lenses..... i just like new camera body..... one of the reasons are most of the gear stuffs here are out of reach... i have to get it online.... and the waiting is killing me..... if only theres everything here.... maybe i have less GAS...... maybe! LOL

Oh well.....
but somehow recently Fujifilms are available here....oh man...
I just have a sudden GAS for Fuji X-T10!!!!!

Looks like my one pic a day didnt work out...

My last posts was on June. Now its almost September. and as expected, i didnt update my blog that frequently as i would have liked. No one picture a day. I was really optimistic when i wrote that post. But as usual, i didnt managed to do it. I didnt even finished my 365 project. boohoo oh well. Enough!

Again, as usual, if i suddenly feeling the urge to update my blog that can only mean one thing. GAS!!!!!!!!!
Yes, fucking GAS!!!!!!!

I sold all of my Fuji cameras (in the hope of getting a new X100T or waiting for X200), and i'm left with a Leica M8 and a Sony RX100iii..... i hope i wont be selling that little gem, the RX100iii. cos its a great camera for its size.

Now i'm GASing for its big brother, the Sony A7!!!!!

With new models coming in, the A7 just got cheaper. Its cheaper than a brand new Fujifilm. and A7 is full frame. But seriously i need to get that Full Frame Vs Crop mentality out of my head because with new technologies so advanced nowadays, Crop sensor can actually challenge a Full Frame sensor, IQ wise.  Anyway back to Sony A7, I found a deal a used Sony A7 with the kit lens only cost a grand. But im kinda short on money so i'm thinking of swapping my Leica M8 for it, its nuts but yea im really on GAS. I didnt really use much of the Leica and i want to try the Sony A7 very much. Where i'm living there's no rent no nothing here so the only solution is to buy and try. it sucks but yea i am accustomed to my country way of living.

Sony A7 dont really have much choice of native lens but it can be used with old lenses with the use of adapter. its intriguing but i'd prefer auto focus lens but u see the versatility.

Anyway, Sony A7 For The Win!!!!

Cycling at Tower Bridge

I was tired from all the walking so i sat down at one of the seating area near the Tower Bridge, there were a lot of people whether cycling, strolling, jogging, photographing, u named it, with my X100S in my hands equipped with the WCL, i tried to capture this cyclist and see if my X100S is fast enough to focus and take a shot. i think it did well here. No hunting by the X100S. Although its a hit and miss, hopefully the X100T improves on that.

From London to Italy and Leicester ........ (Part Florence)

23rd July 2014

Next stop Florence. First impression as soon as i got out of the train station, this felt like Milan. I'm not really enjoying Milan as i should be, except for that Piazza Del Duomo Milan, just standing in the middle of the Piazza is an experience itself. Florence is like a one big festival city. From one piazza to another piazza the road is crowded with people or specifically tourist. People just walked in the middle of the road, its like the road is for pedestrians, the car just had to slow down and do a soft honk. Beep beep... "Attenzione attenzione", i think you can do a one whole day visiting florence because that's what i did. One day is enough for sightseeing only minus museum walk-ins. I walked from the train station till the garden, (that's way down below in the map, wait? what map?), but it didn't feel that far, maybe because it was crowded from one place to the other, like i said it was like one big festival, its just super crowded with tourist.

I've checked into Hotel BellaVista, a nice small hotel just near the train station, it is convenience, i don't have to walked that far, dragging my luggage all the way, it's just a 5 min walk. Thank goodness for technologies nowadays, i just use Google Maps to give me directions and for my walking navigations. I'm gonna spend two nights here in Florence, one day in Florence and tomorrow, Pisa.

Its funny, the first time you walked the streets, you feel foreign, you feel lost but once you knew where you're going, or at least spend a day exploring what's nearby, exploring the city, you get familiar, you become comfortable and feel safe. But that goes for every country i went, not just Italy. That's what i'm feeling right now.

There are like 70 plus channels on Tv but all speaking italian. Only Oggy and the cockroaches and tom and jerry i could understand. I do miss hearing English speaking channel.

Gelato is everywhere in Italy, and so do Florence. Its really nice to lick a Gelato on a hot summer day and the nice ice blended fruity drinks. So refreshing, so cool.
