So it’s been a month since I was (voluntarily) sent to Coventry but I’ve been a busy boy so, a month later, this is just about the first chance I’ve had (the desire) to review the day. I was in Coventry as I had run an errand for my wife and found myself with an…
Hot off the heels of the London Marathon the early May Bank Holiday Monday saw me heading to Cheshire with my youngest daughter to Oulton Park to watch the opening round of the British Superbikes Championships. Having been gifted the admission ticket the primary intention was to go along and enjoy the day, but inevitably…
Once upon a time when I maintained a blog about running I would be posting about how I would have run the latest instalment of the London Marathon, or any other 26.2 mile race in this country or further afield. Times have changed, however, although I did manage to run two marathons last year, partly…
As mentioned at the end of the last post, the Random Lens Generator randomly chose the exact same combination as the last time, so once again I was taking out the slightly odd pairing of the Panasonic GX90 with the Lumix G-Vario 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6 II. As the past walk was a rushed affair, it was…

Having tweaked the random camera generator to give equal weighting to my Panasonic cameras compared with their Sony counterparts, the Panasonic G9 was paired with the Lumix G Vario 12-32 F/3.5-5.6. This diminutive lens, the equivalent of a 24-64 on a full frame lens, came bundled with my GX9 purchase late last year, its price…
The OM System Tough TG-7 was not my first foray into the world of waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof cameras. Back in February 2010 I picked up the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 (the DMC-TS1 outside of Europe). At the time my job saw me travelling all over the world with the F1 circus, something I had first…
I think it’s fair to say that when I began my latest round of camera gear acquisition around two years ago a micro 4/3s camera was not on my radar. In fact if I was totally honest I think I would have had little or no idea what a micro 4/3s camera was. Since I…
