This story started a little more than a half year ago. Somewhere around June 2022, I had the urge to have a digital rangefinder camera again. So I gave myself a budget of up to €250 (which is not much for this type of camera) and waited for a good offer. I've always had a... Continue Reading →

Yes, he finaly lost it, most of you will think :-)I admit, downgrading your camera gear doesn't seem like the wisest choice,however, in some cases it may just be the best choice. What caused writing this article, was the decision to sell my Olympus TG-6, and the purchase of the 5 years older TG-3. The... Continue Reading →
