Kit zoom lens with built-in pop-up flash.

Zoom lens again but with some sort of retro external flash unit.

This post is going to sound a little lame, but I just found out that one of my fave photographers (and I do not give a shit about all the bad press he’s been getting lately) uses a GF1, not only for a few of his images but a shitload of them!

I’ve just spent the last half an hour going through http://terrysdiary.com, downloading his images and getting the EXIF data, which confirms he’s using a GF1 on a lot of the shots I like. He even used a GF1 to shoot Katy Perry for Rolling Stone magazine (the man!). I’m now trying to figure out his settings, which seem to be ISO200, auto mode, in-built flash and having his models stand really close to the white wall. Must do some white wall with flash tests ASAP.

    He shoots Auto with in built flash – wow, why the f is this guy the best paid photog in the world. Zero talent, don’t care what camera he uses!

    That lens looks like the Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8, which ain’t priced like a kit lens. The retro looking flash looks like the optional external flash for the Olympus PEN E-P1.

    I too look at his exif data, it looks like he uses aperture priority rather than auto.
