Musings on the Leica SL2 Silver Edition
- Written by: Steven
I was taking stock of my camera inventory recently and came to notice that all except one of my camera bodies are long discontinued - the exception being my Pentax K1 mkii. While this is still available new, there is speculation that it has been out of production for some time, and that old stock is simply being used up.

More Macro
- Written by: Steven
We pillaged our Macro archive once again to create this collection of macro images. Similar to previous macro collections, the work comes from a large body of 35mm slides that were taken more than 20 years ago. Two camera bodies were used — Olympus OM3Ti and 4Ti models with super bright focussing screen to allow critical manual focussing. Attached to these was a 65-116 telescopic extension tube and varimagni finder unit. Lenses used were the excellent Zuiko 38mm f2.8 and 80mm 1:1 f4 dedicated macro lenses. Lighting was provided by an Olympus F280 flash unit used off camera and bounced into reflectors. Film stock was Kodak Elite Chrome EBX 100 E100 G and GX. Scans were created using an Epson v850 Pro scanner.

Athens to Samos
- Written by: Steven
In 2010 we made a journey from Athens, Greece, heading eastwards across the Aegean Sea to the islands of Ikaria, Fourni and Samos. Ethan captured the trip for PhotoArk’s Travel Diary section while my own work remained unseen due to using film cameras. I have since scanned the original 35mm slides and created this collection showing some of the highlights.
