Sharing is caring. Nikon D800E, Zeiss ZF.2 1.4/85 Planar
Product of the labors of the last few weeks, the observant of you will notice that there’s now a new tab on the second line called CAMERAPEDIA! It’s a 22,000+ word monster that contains a concise opinion on every piece of equipment I’ve ever used (and can remember) – that’s a lot of gear, folks. I figure instead of asking me if X or Y is any good, I might as well put all of the info in one easy to access place. It also links to my detailed reviews, where I have one. It’s a live document, which will be updated as I use more stuff. The best way to use it is use your browser’s built in search function – either command-F or ctrl-F – and type in the name of whatever it is you’re looking for. For lenses, just the focal length should be enough. Everything is in alphanumeric order.
It can be found here, and also accessed via the CAMERAPEDIA! button next to ‘Contact/ Ask a question’.
Enjoy! MT
Quick update – the competition is coming along nicely; we’ve got 20+ great entries so far, but come on folks, I see plenty of great images in the newly-minted Flickr pool that would qualify and do well – but no corresponding entries! Remember, the more people entering, the larger the cash prize. Entry details can be found here.

Visit our Teaching Store to up your photographic game – including Photoshop Workflow DVDs and customized Email School of Photography; or go mobile with the Photography Compendium for iPad. You can also get your gear from B&H and Amazon. Prices are the same as normal, however a small portion of your purchase value is referred back to me. Thanks!

Happy Birthday Ming. Consistently great pictures. And incidentally, similar tastes with me: OM-D camera and Sinn watches. Maybe we’re cousins…..
Haha, thanks Kamal.

Happy birthday, Ming! Such a lovely motto and a beautiful photo… Thanks for both sharing and caring!
Thanks Xenia! I actually think that image was one of the few times I wished I had a larger format camera.
Happy Birthday Ming! Maybe Leica will give you a free MM for your birthday!! 🙂
Thanks for all your hard work and effort you have put into this blog and your site.
Always enjoy seeing the D800E/Zeiss lens rendering like the shot above.
I am loving my D800E with my ZF 35/2 and the ZF 21/2.8.
Haha, I can only hope! Thanks Wayne – I’ve got some ZF reviews coming up in the near future, so stay tuned! 🙂
Happy birthday Ming. Your blog has made quite an impact on the photographic community this year. I’m sure your readership is ramping up exponentially with all the exposure it’s getting now. Keep up the great work.
