Hi I’m Jack:
A Scientist & Street Photographer.

Street Photography is how I document life…





The OM3 may not be $5100, yet this micro-four thirds camera cost more than the full-frame Nikon Zf? I took ten thousand photos to figure out why I like both so much. Its retro veneer’s a disguise, hiding four flagship features unheard of for the price. But is it overkill for an everyday camera? A luxury I shouldn’t get used to.
The Zf’s manual focus assist tools have come to the Z8, but to get the most out of these first party features you need third party accessories. I use three manual lens setups - dummy adapters, chipped adapters, or native Z-mount Voigtlanders and while the latest Z8 firmware improved TWO of these setups, it broke the workflow for one. Today I’ll test the Zf’s latest firmware - will manual focus break?
The biggest problem with the most popular film recipe? It’s only available on Fuji. I found a way to copy Classic Chrome on the OM3, even Nikon now has their own JPEG recipes. Can I create a look that works for all of my cameras using free software only? But the odds are against me - this is attempt number three. Can I finally quit Adobe?
