I just wanted to let you know that I just updated used prices on the FE list. It was interesting to see that over 11 months many lenses became a lot cheaper (especially Zeiss branded lenses but also most Sigma Arts) while many others stayed very stable.

Long-Term Review: Voigtlander 110mm F2.5 APO Macro Apo-Lanthar
The Voigtlander 110mm F2.5 is among the very best E-mount lenses you can buy. It has been part of Phillips standard kit for 18 months and David has used his a lot as well. In this review we evaluate it in-depth and also share our experience.

A Photography Ride through Spring
So, Phillip: You haven’t published an article for three months: Where have you been? Well I sat in front of my PC for work a lot but I also was out in nature on my bike with a camera bag on my back.
Enjoying the freedoms C19 left
16.3.20: The first day schools were closed in Germany
I am a teacher so my daily routines changed completely with the closure of schools: I had no longer to be in school by 8am which gave me the freedom to do early morning rides but at the same time my workload increased significantly since new formats had to be developed to fit the new setting, individual feedback took a lot of time and digital tools had to be deployed and colleagues trained in them. So my hours in front of the PC increased a lot, so much so that it would have been stressful to invest even more hours to produce any blog content. A big thanks to Bastian and also to David and Juriaan wo kept the blog alive in the last months.
While C19 took many liberties I tried to make the most of the liberties which C19 left. Riding my bicycle in the early hours when none is around was still allowed under our relatively liberal lockdown rules.To me there is no better place to find respite from the turbulences of life than getting up with the sun and riding through the forest on a cold morning or slightly less frosty evening all by myself. We also had very sunny weather for weeks which I used to experience and capture the spring like no spring before. I want to share some of the many pictures I took in this article.
The Team edits your images part 1: Aurora Borealis
You sent us over 30 images of which we have selected a few and will show our edits in the coming days. Thanks a lot for the images. To be honest I (Phillip) lost track of who sent us this lovely file. Please let us know and also your thoughts on our edit :).

How would we process your image?
The idea
We would like to make a little experiment: You can send us a raw file and then some of us will process it, show our settings, discuss our approach and maybe compare our results.
The idea is that you can compare our results to your own processing and maybe improve on it. At the same time we can compare our results and learn something as well. So everybody benefits 🙂
How to get an image to us
The easiest way would be to leave a comment with a link to the raw file. But you can also send an E-Mail to xxxx.
