Extra OSP Magazine September

I’m on Retirement Pace

Many months ago I wrote that writing and publishing weekly articles was starting to get tough. And I was not the only one experiencing this problem, I’ve read this from other fellow bloggers regardless of what their blog was about. Ultimately, you also want to have a life, and not be tied to a deadline. To counter this problem, I started the OSP magazine. The idea was no longer to publish weekly but once a month, by this I thought I had more time to write one or more articles that were then published at the beginning of a new month. Unfortunately, my analysis showed that, not only does it take up even more time, the magazine itself is hardly read. I have therefore made the decision not to make any more magazines after this one, but to publish separate blog articles again.

It is said that people who are retired never have time, and I can only agree with that.
Hence the speed at which I will publish articles will be equivalent to “retirement pace”.
When it’s there, it’s there, not before, not later 🙂

But today I want to publish an article at the same time!
It was promised in the September OSP magazine that I would write something about the matching TTArtisan lens hood for the TTArtisan 23mm f1.4 lens, as well as the alternative Hoya uv filter that I also ordered in the TTArtisan shop under the name Tianya XS Pro 1.

Writing a new blog article is not always that easy, so usually when I have an idea I prepare a draft, sometimes it is only a title, but that is a start to build on.
For example, I currently have twelve drafts in my post folder, some of them are almost ready to publish, others consist only of a title or some text to sketch the idea.
An article that I have largely finished, but which is still in Dutch at the moment is The MCO Plus 14mm f3.5 on Micro Four Thirds – Unboxing and Review, so you can expect it soon.
Another change is that test photos, as taken with the above mentioned lens, will no longer be saved with the article itself, but in my photo gallery linked to the article concerned.

Also a nearly finished article is Rangefinder or Not, it’s about previous rangefinder cameras I’ve owned, then all sold, and now finally got to the point that, do I want a new rangefinder ? and if so, which one ?

So don’t forget “Retirement Pace”.
