19Mar Preparing for the Panasonic GH4 – Lenses
As I mentioned before, I went ahead and pre ordered the Panasonic GH4. The specs are pretty amazing and the $1699 price tag makes it one of the most attractive 4k camera offerings on the market.

08Jan Sony RX10 & XLR-K1M adapter
I’ve been wanting to get a Sony RX10 in for review for awhile now. With a focal range of 24-200mm (35mm equivalent) and a constant f2.8 across the entire range, the Sony RX10 looks like a pretty decent camera on paper. On top of that it’s supposed to be compatible with the Sony XLR-K1M adapter […]
