Dewey B Photography

  In this video, I break down my top 3 likes and 1 honest dislike after years of real-world use. From its sharpness and compact size to the constant f2.8 aperture and weather sealing, this lens has earned its spot as my go-to everyday zoom. But it’s not perfect — and I’ll explain the one feature that has actually caused me to miss shots. I also share a real example from Glacier National Park where the manual focus clutch caught me off guard and cost me what could have been a fantastic sunrise image. If you’re shooting Micro Four Thirds and considering the 12-40 PRO II, this review will help you decide if it’s worth the investment. 📷 Topics Covered: Manual focus clutch pros & cons f2.8 in real-world photography Size & 24-80mm full-frame equivalent range Sharpness across the zoom range Weather sealing & durability If you enjoy honest, practical photography gear discussions, make sure to like, comment, and subscribe.

  What do you do when the weather is cloudy, drizzly, windy, and just plain uninspiring? In this episode, I head out to a new park in Walton, Kentucky for some winter landscape photography — only to find frozen water, flat light, and zero inspiration. But that’s real photography. Not every outing produces a portfolio image. Sometimes you scout. Sometimes you experiment. Sometimes you just test your gear. I also: • Test my OM System 50-200mm lens in windy conditions • Compare lightweight vs heavy tripod stability • Talk about traveling to Australia and gear decisions • Install and review a $92 lens coat for protection This is what real-world landscape photography looks like when conditions aren’t perfect. If you’ve ever gone out in bad light and questioned your decision — this one’s for you.
