FUJIFILM X-Pro1 (18mm, f/2, 1/60 sec, ISO2500)
And a giant Aga toad. Nice idea to attract more people to galleries. It happened in the NHM in Vienna. A place I visit on a regular base to test new cameras. All images taken with the 18mm lens. Continue reading
SONY DSC-RX100 (10.4mm, f/2.8, 1/200 sec, ISO125)
Even better than the Acropolis itself. Well almost. At least in the summertime when thousands of tourists are stuck in between the Patheon and the Dionysos temple at 45 degrees Celsius. This is one of the few museum where it is not allowed to take pictures.
I took some before I asked. Sorry. Continue reading

Today there is no 150MP full frame camera. Even the 36MP sensor of the Nikon D800 is considered too much for most of the lenses. You need the best lenses and technique to make the camera shine. The RX100 sensor scaled up would result in a 150 MegaPixel full frame camera so it needs a very good lens and good technique to get most out of it. Continue reading
