The posts in our blog here tend to be picture-heavy, on account that we take a lot of photos! We especially posted a lot of pictures of our children in the past years, but have gradually tapered that off on account that we want to juggle sharing our happy times with our children against privacy concerns too.
The photos taken at our blog have been taken using a variety of equipment over the years. I’ve used four interchangeable lens systems: currently Sony Alpha FE and Micro Four Thirds, and before that Nikon and Konica-Minolta. As of April 2018, the Sony Alpha FE is my primary camera system.
Here is the current and past outlay of our equipment.
Currently
Sony A7 Mark III (2018+), alongside the first wave of lenses I picked up to accompany it in the same month.
The nine lenses – seven native and two adapted – I use with this system are Sonys FE 16-35mm f4.0, FE 24-105mm f4.0, FE 50mm f1.8, FE 85mm f1.8, FE 28mm f2, Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 Di III RXD, Samyang 35mm f2.8, Samyang 35mm f1.4, Tamron 70-200mm f2.8, and Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6, both adapted with the Sigma MC-11.
Olympus E-M1 (2015+): the current workhorse when I have to take pictures at occasions that are less casual.
Olympus E-PL9 (2019+): a replacement to the E-PL6 that I used for six years.
Over the years, the main lenses used were Olympus 12-40mm f2.8, Olympus 40-150mm f2.8, Olympus 17mm f1.8, Panasonic 25mm f1.4, and the Olympus 45mm f1.8. I’ve sold a number of these away in 2018 when I changed camera systems, and as of 2019 still have just the 12-40mm, 40-150mm, 45mm and 17mm.
Canon G7X Mark II (2017+): a 1″ compact camera when I bring along a small camera without a bag.
Panasonic LX7 (2012+): an old compact camera that still produces great pictures when used in good light.
Past
Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D (2006 to 2008): the first digital ILC camera I used.
Nikon D300 (2008 to 2012): my first Nikon DSLR, and – at the current moment – still the camera I took the most number of pictures with, though the E-M1 is fast catching up!
Olympus E-PL1 (2010 to 2012): my first m4/3 compact that also came along for several oversea trips.
Olympus E-PL2 (2011+): a fairly brisk replacement to the E-PL1 given its technological improvements over its predecessor.
Nikon D7000 (2012 to 2014): my second Nikon DSLR, but bought at a time when I was already considering a full switch to m4/3.
Panasonic DMC-LX100 (2015 to 2016): a large sensor compact camera with great styling, but couldn’t get past the idiosyncracies of its images.
Fujifilm X70 (2016 to 2017): another large sensor compact camera that I couldn’t get used to.
Panasonic GX85 (2017 to 2018): an acquisition to gradually replace the E-PL6 then.
Olympus E-M5 (2012 to 2018): the first DSLR-styled m4/3 camera body I owned.
Olympus E-PL6 (2013 to 2019): compact m4/3 body that I brought everywhere to take casual shots of the kids, but the camera has been failing for the last few years. It was finally replaced by the E-PL9 in Oct 2019.
