This is the Olympus E-1 from 2003, their first DSLR with interchangeable lenses and the first model in the new Four Thirds system.

Sigma's second lens launched today is the 15mm f1.4 DC, designed for Sony, Canon or Fujifilm bodies with cropped APS-C sensors. It's smaller, lighter and sharper than the previous 16 1.4 and now includes an aperture ring! What's not to like? Here's my review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=90Lu...

Today Sigma launched two new lenses and I've reviewed them both for you! First-up, their 35mm f1.4 DG II Art for full-frame e and L-mount bodies becomes the best 35 1.4 I've tested!

Fujifilm's new instax mini Link+ printer couples a smart industrial design with a new mode that makes text and graphic art crisper. My review includes a rant about being able to replace built-in batteries. EU models are forced to do it, US ones are not. Naughty US: www.youtube.com/watch?v=In7Z...

Obviously not great, but maybe that doesn't matter for those it's aimed at. See what you think: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDC8...

Bold Street Coffee is a bona-fide institution in Liverpool. One of the first to embrace speciality coffee in the city and still one of the most popular cafes. I recently made a pilgrimage to the original branch, of course on Bold Street itself, for my latest review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g31Y...
