I really wish I enjoyed shooting with the Fujifilm system.
This is a disappointing post for me to write. At the beginning of the summer, I dipped my toes into the Fujifilm eco-system. At the end of the summer, I had many memories converted to nice photographs. But, I also had…

Making a case for the Viltrox 75mm F1.2 Pro
This post is as much for me as it is for you, my dear readers. A while back, I wrote two posts about my favorite lenses of all time. Let's just say that this led to even more reflection on gear than usual. The thing it…
Two lenses to capture the 2026 Winter Olympics
It has been freaking hot in the Netherlands which might have prompted me to write this post about..... the 2026 Winter Olympics. I wanted to write this post right after our visit but somehow it never happened. Maybe it…
A Tribute to the Best Lenses I Ever Used: My Top Picks Part 2
Okay..... a lot has happened since that Part 1 post. I am questioning all my gear again, and I even bought back into the Fujifilm system.... Oh boy. Buy hey, I guess that is part of the fun. I feel reacquainted with an…
A Tribute to the Best Lenses I Ever Used: My Top Picks Part 1
This post is a tribute to the best lenses I ever used. Most of them have come and gone, they met a need at a certain point in time and that need keeps on drifting as I have now come to accept. That means I shot with a…
The Sony RX1R III review; why it works and what's missing (surprisingly little)
After my post about the first impressions of the Sony RX1R III (hereafter to be named III), I feel I have spent enough time with it to discuss its use case more in-depth. Contrary to many keyboard warriors on the…
First impressions of the Sony RX1Riii
The moment Sony launched the RX1Riii, I knew I was in trouble. The good kind of trouble. I had given up on ever seeing a successor to one of my favorite cameras of all time, the RX1Rii. I loved that camera and actually…
Mastering Light Metering: How I finally understood its importance
Even though I consider myself a hobby photographer for more than two decades, it has taken me until the last year to finally look into proper light metering. Perhaps this is the downside of being a self-taught…
The quirks of the Leica Q3 43 - a year later.
I am quite harsh towards photography gear with a very short term perspective of its appeal. That isn't always fair to the gear but it's my blog so I get to write whatever I want. This post is all about the quirks of the…
The Leica Q3 43 goes to Spain and takes a little friend (the OM-3)
A new side of Spain I've been to Spain many times but there are many parts unknown to me. The goal for this trip was to see the Basque coast with its sharp cliffs and pintxos culture, the green folds of Asturias where…
A short tribute to an icon of Utrecht
I moved to Utrecht about a year ago. I am slowly getting to know the city, but one thing was clear from day one; the Dom is the icon of Utrecht. Standing at 112 meter tall, you can see it from pretty much anywhere in…
A different Leica Q3 43 review: 43 Photos with the best every day camera - part 1
The math really should be that simple sometimes. I like something in between 35mm and 50mm. I want a small-ish camera with a clean and intuitive interface. I want image quality and build quality. Yes, I bought the Leica…
Part 2 > A different Leica Q3 43 review: 43 Photos with the best every day camera
Part 1 is here. Hello readers. It is time for the second half of my first 43 keepers with the Leica Q3 43. Before we jump in, let me appreciate some of the smaller things about the 43 that I like. The on/off switch is…
