The all-knowing Mr. Rhone:
But, those in the know pay little attention to the daily ups and downs of the market. They know that, while the Day Traders might make some fast cash to spend on hookers and blow that way, it has little to do with true wealth. Those who know the market know those folks play the short game.
Go for the financial talk. Stay for the life advice.

The time has come to part ways with my beloved telephoto lens. I’ve been avoiding this day for as long as possible.
I love this lens. For an 80-300mm equivalent lens, it’s tiny. It’s weather sealed. Its manual focus clutch is best in class. Its zoom ring is of the highest quality and its lens hood is one of the most innovative features of any lens in any system on the market.
But I have to make a decision. I purchased the Panasonic Leica Nocticron recently and I can’t justify having both these lenses. With our new project underway, I expect the Nocticron to serve my purposes better, so I can’t justify having both lenses. Of course, they serve entirely different purposes. But having both isn’t fair.
The Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO is probably my favourite lens on the Micro 4/3 system. It’s fairly big, but its ergonomics are amazing and its image quality is incredible at all focal lengths and apertures. I’ll be very sad to see it go.
Below are some photos of the lens. The lens is in prime condition with no visible scratches or bruises. There is a small scuff on the lens hood as you will see in one photo. The lens was purchased brand new in April 2015.
Selling price is $1100 USD shipped for anywhere in Canada or the United States, but I’m open to offers. Just get in touch. For international buyers, get in touch with me and let’s figure something out.
If you’re interested, send me an email at desk@thenewsprint.co and let’s chat.
My stylish wife fell prey to my blogging habits (or lack thereof?) and started her own fashion, travel, food, and lifestyle blog yesterday.
Today’s “Back to Burgundy” post is the first look at what Jaclyn’s site will look like over the coming months. Generally speaking, I’ll be the guy behind the camera, firing away and secretly daydreaming about her stunning good looks.
This also happens to be my first true photoshoot with the Panasonic Leica Nocticron. Although the E-M5 Mark II’s viewfinder and display are really impressive, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw these images for the first time in Lightroom on my Mac. The backgrounds are so creamy and so smooth, even when taking full body shots. The full-frame-esque look is something I didn’t think possible with the smaller Micro 4/3 lens and I’m happy to admit I was mistaken.
Regardless of my camera gear, the subject in all these photographs would make any camera look great. I’m super proud of Jaclyn and I’m excited to see where this little project goes.
