I purchased from eBay a used Panasonic 14-140mm lens which replaces one that I destroyed last year.
I shot some sample footage whilst enjoying my allocated exercise time during the Coronavirus lock down and captured all the clips in 6K photo mode on the Panasonic G9. I hope that you enjoy!

Here is a simple DIY project costing less than £10 using an IKEA ‘Trofast’ container. Build a camera stand lightbox/diffuser which gives surprisingly good results and is fun to use.
Oddly satisfying. In a lock-down Coronavirus world the cows don’t care! These cows have to cope with all the insects that are presently thriving in this almost pollution and traffic free environment. The tree in this movie which is stripped of any cow height growth serves an important purpose.
Captured this during my well loved, can’t come soon enough, 1 hour exercise allowance!
Testing my old (1988) but trustworthy Adaptall II 70-210mm lens (46A), I had forgotten how much I love this lens.
Finally committed to the V_LOG L upgrade to the Panasonic G9. Is it any good?
If you are thinking about the upgrade then check out my sample clips. There are lots of high contrast shots to test the claim that there is 12 stops of dynamic range.

This is a user review of the Laowa 17mm F1.8 C-Dreamer lens for Micro Four Thirds – MFT – M4/3 system which include Panasonic and Olympus cameras. Don’t expect laboratory condition tests this was done in my living room during COVID-19 lock-down but I believe that the results are interesting.
It’s available at a great price especially if you buy direct from China. The delivery from Laowa in China was incredibly fast.
Overall this is a quality item but does it perform well?

I had some clips from 2019 that didn’t make to any other video so this is a collection of some of those clips. My hope is to show that the Micro Four Thirds system still has a firm place in 2020 (and beyond) and that when care is taken to expose a scene properly the system can demonstrate good dynamic range and low noise in many different lighting scenarios. Or maybe I just wanted to find a use for some otherwise redundant clips… you decide!
The Micro Four Thirds system is subject to the occasional criticism but I have found it a great replacement for my Samsung NX equipment and you will not find better value if you want to shoot 4K video.
We hope that you enjoy the video, please subscribe as we will do out best to upload videos that inform or entertain.
All shot with the Panasonic G9 & G80 using lenses from both Panasonic & Olympus: Panasonic 12-60mm F3.5-5.6 Panasonic 14-140mm F3.5-5.6 Olympus 60mm F2.8 Macro Olympus 45mm F1.8
My review of the B&W International waterproof case (Type 4000) that I use for my M4/3 (Panasonic G9) camera and lenses.
These cases come in a variety of sizes and with various inserts for different uses, this one has ‘Pick & Pluck’ foam along with a DIY home made lens insert. This video also details a strap hack that you can use instead of buying the optional B&W International shoulder strap.
These are my first video clips (A Walk At The Lake) shot with the fantastic Olympus 60mm f2.8 Macro Lens mounted on the Panasonic G9.
The video contains a brief summary of my observations and recommendations for this lens.
I hope that you enjoy the video & samples.
