Quote of the day: "The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then--to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." --T. H. White, The Once and Future King


I have to admit that I am something of a photographic review junkie--I am always looking for new reviews and tests of photography equipment. It is an open question whether I spend too much time reading about photography instead of taking photographs, but I do try to be as informed as possible when buying new equipment. I appreciate all the hard work of various people around the Internet who have taken the time to post reviews and tests of their equipment. Although I do a fair amount of testing of my own equipment, up to this point I have not foung the time to present it for others to review. However, since getting my Panasonic G1 I have been experimenting with my old Minolta manual focus lenses and I have decided to put the results online.
