I was in Lincoln again this week visiting a couple of data centres to resolve hardware faults. As always I had a camera with me and in my lunch break went for a walk through the centre of town.
I grabbed a few shots before heading into an independent coffee shop for a coffee and sandwich.
With my transport needs met by several different modes, the main one for work being a motorcycle to cut through traffic quickly, I again started down the rabbit hole of what small camera would fill a particular every day carry niche when my Leica or Nikon ZF were a little to big.
As always my heart leads me towards a Ricoh GR or Fuji X100. The Fuji is not really any smaller and the Ricoh is expensive for a compact. For that money one can get something a little more flexible and fun. So I have been looking at the Olympus Pen line up. I came close to pulling the trigger on the original micro four thirds Pen when it was first released and it’s still a fun little camera. I started to look around and one can pick one up for about £80 in the local camera store.
Lens choice would be tough. The 17mm would be a start but would also like something a little wider.
