The Olympus OM-1 (In the future it will be called ‘OM System’) immediately brought my 68-year-old brain back to the days when I bought my first Olympus OM-system film camera. That camera changed my life. And if I were still a practicing, professional, bird photographer I have no doubt this camera would do likewise.

I’ve published more than 9000 blog posts, magazine articles and podcasts and NEVER – EVER did I expect I’d be writing a review like this one. Hold on to your horses. I love a SONY camera. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Surprised the heck out of me too. But just because (and only because) I am at a stage in my career where size, weight and image quality have to be just right, I am able to say I love the Sony a7C.

The three lenses I am talking about are the Tamron 17-28 | 28-75 | 70-180 i.e., the trinity zooms covering everything from 17mm to 180mm with a fast fixed aperture and all three together cost slightly more than just the one Sony 70-200 G Master.
Lumix sent me a GH6 and the 200 f/2.8 to test on my Alaska trip last month. I have barely even heard of this lens so I was excited to try it.
Ulanzi is well-known for making high-quality, budget solutions for photographers. Those two things usually do not go together. . . high-quality at budget prices. But in my experience, everything I’ve seen from Ulanzi deserves to hold that spot.
