Leopold: “Here is an acoustic music video i shot on the GH3 with the SLRMagic 35/1.4 and the anamorphot. It was some kind of a test shooting for upcoming projects i´d like to shoot with my new gh4 which i´ll get soon. I really like the anamorphot, although it´s not easy to handle when shooting in near distances with the diopters. You have to be very careful to stay in focus especially when shooting wide open. But it´s fun and the look is unique! https://vimeo.com/100743835”
Graham: “Going through recent photojournalism on the web, I noticed that Jerome Sessini’s beautiful and horrifying photos of the MH17 crash site in Eastern Ukraine were all taken with an EM-1. Warning, graphic content:

For me Its hard to interpret the MH17 photos as beautiful, but that 1st one… has a creepy mix of the horror and the right light conditions……gruesome…
Two comments,
1, MH17, what I found most worrying was the apparent way someone was able to wander about the site taking photographs for public consumption.
2, The video by Pier-Yves Menkhoff, was little more than a moving set of mediocre stills which might have been far better if shot as a series of stills, with a little more consideration to composition.
I saw the crash pictures a while ago.
(I won’t debate wether it was right or not to take pictures, personally I think it’s a thing to do, given how some informations and news can easily be manipulated by governments)
As everyone will notice, the story and feelings are what strike the observer.
I wonder how many people asked themselves what kind of camera or lenses were used by journalists: personally I find disturbing that we have to focus on gear when looking at such a tragedy, and while I love m43 system, I admit that I really don’t care a f@ck1ng $hi7 about EXIF data. Your photo is more important than your gear.
I agree here. There is ALWAYS a huge amount of propaganda on both sides. So it can be very useful to have any documentary amateur shots available.
Agree. Gear is the last thing on my mind when looking at images such as these.
