The 12mm alone has a snap focus ring, so without using any viewfinder or preview, I'm able to zone focus my subjects and expect everything to be in focus, just like using classic rangefinders like the Leica system. Other fittings are also available.12mm using the 'Snap-Focus' for zone focusĪside from the bonus of adapting other lenses, I found this combination of lenses really covers most of my applications. The three camera adapters that make up the Kowa telephoto lens system – I use micro four third fitting adapters. Another factor is that my Olympus OMD EM-1 has built in image stabilisation up to 1000mm and with features like the digital focus peaking optical aid which tells me by a graphical representation on the LCD or viewfinder which part of the image is in optimum focus – the lens and the camera body are a perfect match. The benefits of having such a compact system is huge – this is a super telephoto lens that can be hand held – no problem. I want to be in full control of my focusing and the image that I capture, no focus hunting – I make the decision and I focus where I want to focus. Some people may question this as a negative for wildlife photography – but not me. One of the reasons the Kowa telephoto lens is so compact and lightweight is due to the fact that there are no electronics in the body – so no image stabilisation or auto focus. I also use the prism adapter and a 25-60x wide angle Kowa eyepiece to covert the lens in to, in my opinion, the finest spotting scope available on the market. So I actually have in my one kit back a 700m f4, 1000m f5.6 and a 1700mm f9.6. But remember with the micro four thirds system you need to double the focal length due to the crop factor of the sensor. I use all three adapters – the 350mm f4, 500mm 5.6 and the mighty 850mm f9.6. If like me – you don’t want to be weighed down by bulky equipment, it’s the perfect choice. Not only is it pure fluorite crystal producing outstanding resolution and contrast, it is also an ultra compact modular system offering three prime lenses and a spotting scope in one product. It’s all about image quality for me and this is a lens with a difference. For my telephoto work I use a another product from KOWA – their stunning telephoto lens. I am also a keen wildlife photographer and digiscoper. KOWA MFT 25mm F1.8 – With a wide F1.8 aperture – Perfect for creating those bokeh effects for portraits and creative photography. KOWA MFT 12mm F1.8 – Super sharp and a great 24mm (MFT) focal length with a wide aperture to control depth of field. KOWA MFT 8.5mm F2.8 – With very low distortion this super wide angle is perfect for landscapes and architecture or if you intend to shoot wide angle video. They feature a click F stop aperture ring but with a press of a button you can switch to T stops and a smooth aperture ring – perfect for video. Optically they are stunning with ED glass and an aspherical lens. The body is metal (no plastic at all) with a real feel of quality and a nice weight to balance out the camera body. They are extremely well engineered with a retro design that suits the Olympus OMD series perfectly. I use a set of three lenses produced by the Japanese optics manufacturer KOWA. I have to position myself to get the shot, to frame it so it works as an image and focus where I want to focus. ![]() Using prime, manual focus lenses not only gives me outstanding quality but it also allows me to be more creative as a photographer. I also like to have some ownership of the final image – An image that I can be proud of – one that I made myself. I want the best quality I can get optically. I only shoot with manual lenses – I think this gives me far greater creative control. Camera bodies will come and go as the technology progresses – but a good investment in quality lenses will last you years – may be a lifetime. It produces lovely warm images and offers full creative control to match any DSLR body at a much smaller and lightweight size.įor me – the micro four thirds system is all about the quality of the glass you put in front of it. A splash, freeze and dust proof body is a real bonus and features like focus peaking and LIVE TIME make this camera a joy to use. The retro design is packed with a simply staggering amount of modern digital camera technology and the viewfinder is ultra clear and sharp. I love the styling of the camera body, the size, weight and feel. It is very tactile with easy to operate dials and custom buttons to tailor the camera to your own needs. I love to have full creative control when taking my images.Īfter much research, I opted for the Olympus OMD EM-1. These mirrorless cameras are ultra compact yet feature packed. Having ditched my bulky DSLR set-up, I have moved on to the micro four thirds system.

By exploring the fictional technology, students are urged to think more deeply about their own beliefs and to pay attention to the ways that technology is described and used. Next, students discuss and debate what they believe the story’s author is saying about technology. In this lesson plan, students first complete a survey to establish their beliefs about technology before using a literary elements map to explore the role of a fictional technology in a novel such as 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, REM World, or Feed. Finally, students write a persuasive essay in support of a given statement. Next, students explore the similarities of the propaganda techniques used in the literary text and in the online political ads to explain the commentary the text is making about contemporary society. Students identify examples of propaganda techniques used in clips of online political advertisements and explain how the techniques are used to persuade voters. ![]() Students discuss these examples, and then explore the use of propaganda in popular culture by looking at examples in the media. Finally, they explore how they can apply their knowledge about dystopias to future readings.Īfter reading or viewing a text like Brave New World, students are introduced to propaganda techniques and then identify examples in the text. Students then view additional film clips and identify which characteristics of a dystopian society the clip is intended to portray. Next, they identify the protagonist in clips from The Matrix and then discuss how the clips extend and confirm their understanding of a dystopia. They first explore the definition and characteristics of utopian and dystopian societies, and then compare and contrast the two using a Venn diagram online tool. In this lesson plan, students are introduced to the definition and characteristics of a dystopian work by watching video clips from The Matrix and other dystopian films. Brave New World shares a vision of scientific advancements and combines them into a dystopian society, challenged by the story’s protagonist. ![]() ![]() Set mainly in a futuristic World State whose citizens are environmentally engineered into an intelligence-based social hierarchy.

Like natural diamonds, lab-created diamonds are available in every shape and cut imaginable-and it's practically impossible to tell them apart using just the naked eye. Read on for some of the best hidden halo engagement rings you can buy now.While the idea of wearing a diamond formed over millions of years is undoubtedly romantic, lab-grown diamonds are often less expensive, and more sustainably sourced. Radiant cut diamonds can be reminiscent of the emerald cuts elongated shape, however, the radiant cut is faceted for maximum brilliance. A few of our top picks include the Brilliant Earth Secret Halo Diamond Engagement Ring, Charles & Colvard Round Hidden Halo Engagement Ring, and Sylvie Spiral Engagement Ring With Hidden Halo. To help you find your forever ring, we've researched the best options on the market-keeping the band, brilliance, details, and overall quality in mind. Still, for many, it's worth it for that unexpected sparkle coming from underneath the stone. Because of the small diamonds and the possible higher setting, these can be a bit more fragile than other types of rings. Some engagement rings featuring a hidden halo require a higher and bulkier setting, which can make finding a matching wedding band a little difficult-although, of course, not every hidden halo ring is like that. While there are plenty of great things about hidden halo rings, there are also some details to keep in mind before purchasing one. "And if you want to elevate the look without a massive bump in cost, these small diamonds can do the trick." "If you want to customize your ring but not distract from the center stone, a hidden halo is a lovely way to achieve just that," private jeweler Hannah Florman tells Brides. It's also a great way to give your center stone a bit of a lift, and it's more subtle than a traditional halo setting. We suggest picking an eye-clean stone with a clarity rating of VS1/VS2 or higher for a 2.50ct gem. It is elegant, and impressive and is sure to leave whoever sees it in complete awe. The tiny band of diamonds sits beneath the center stone and can typically only be seen in profile, so it's a fun way to add a little extra sparkle to your ring.
