Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm F1.8 Review: Petaling Street, KL
134 comments:
- DonParrot8/20/2011 04:28:00 AM
Hi Robin,
another really nice review. Thanks a lot. Indeed, I have to admit that you massively increased my desire for purchasing the E-PL3 with exactly this lens.
Nicolaus hello nicolaus,
I have not seen the epl3 in person yet, but my friends told me its beautiful and sexy too.
I am sure you will love the 45mm and epl3 combo, they look really great together while you still get same image quality and fast autofocus.
hello wolfgang,
the 45mm would complement the 20mm very well , providing a longer coverage! and the f1.8 makes thia lens all the more useful in many situations.this lens coming out is what made me decide to switch to all m43 when i move to china.
the weight, size and price differences still couldn't make me give up my e5, 14-35, 35-100 kit. now, though with the epl3, this lens and the 12mm...i am getting rid of everything.
i am going with a kit of epl3, 12mm f2, 45mm f1.8, voigtlander 25mm f0.95, and maybe get the panasonic 8mm fisheye. (i used to have the olympus 8mm fisheye and loved it.)
the quality has finally stepped up enough to, combined with the other beneficial factors, justify my change.
PS. i think i'll keep my oly 35mm macro lens for macro shooting with an adapter.Hello eric,
wow, that is a bold move to give up on the 4/3 dslr gear, going full on micro 4/3. indeed I am impressed with your lineup of lenses and that 8mm fisheye would add up nicely. keeping the 35mm macro is a smart choice, I still think it is the cheapest true macro lens with af up to date, with admirable image quality!!well, i have to factor my move to china into the equation now. i will not be doing my pro concert/theatre work anymore. i'll be switching styles to more street and travel photography. the smaller system will be less intimidating to locals, and less threatening to government officials. also, with the crowded trains and subways it will be a little more comfortable without the giant lens hanging around bumping into people. =)
i just got my 12mm today and my epl3 and 45mm are on order for whenever they decide to start shipping. now i just need my gear to sell then i can order some more to complete my kit.
ps. thanks for confirming that the 45mm is as good as i was hoping it would be.- acahaya8/20/2011 08:51:00 PM
Hi Robin,
once again thanks a milion for posting a "user experience report" targeting everything that might be of interest when really using a lens or a camera without a single picture of bricks and roof tiles ;-)))
The 45/1.8 will compliment my travel setup (E-P3, 12/2, 20/1.7, 14-150) nicely and i'm looking forward to shooting sports and portrait with it.
If you still have the E-P3, give C-AF a try, it is much improved when compared to the previous PENs. Do not forget to turn off the image display, as this will block the display and cause black out when shooting in serial mode. dpreview made this mistake and then complained about it in their review.
I tried to shoot river surfers in Munich with the E-P3 and Kit lens last weekend and was positively surprised. hello acahaya,
It was my pleasure to help out and contribute to the Olympus and PEN community in any way I can.
The 45mm will be a great lens for your line-up, providing the medium telephoto range, and it is so small you wont mind fitting it anywhere in your camera bag.
Thanks for the C-AF suggestion. I am a single AF shooter, but I will keep it in mind. I believe it works wonders too, as you have already reported !!Robin, thanks. Love your posts.
I've got a 45mm on pre-order. It's absolutely driven me crazy that I haven't had the ability to shoot with my 50mm F2.0 on micro 4/3 with any sort of focusing speed. I can't even really shoot my E5 with the 50 and get good speed.
This solves all of it mated to my new EP3.
I can see myself doing photoshoots with a 12-60 on my E5, and also using my EP3 with the 45mm to get natural light stuff.
Absolutely can't wait for it. Those were really good shots under horrid lighting conditions. You went right for it with this lens.
Should be great in good lighting and careful composition.Hello Tim,
You are most welcome. Wow, you are already on pre-order, that is fast. Coupling the E-P3 with 45mm and shooting with it alongside E-5, that is a great combination.
I have just come back from a shooting session with the 45mm under morning light. It was simply superb. Will be updating about it soon.- Mark from HK8/21/2011 11:09:00 PM
I REALLY REALLY Envy you!! Lucky lad to get hold of a 45mm to test with.
That lens is on the shopping list and will serve to keep my 50mm f2 on my E5.
I am seriously thinking whether to do away with the E5 system...the money I get on selling the whole set (14-54 II, 50-200mm II) might help me build quite a kit for the EP3 I am in possession of. Mayhaps buy the 25mm pana leica, the 45mm oly and a 9-18mm and 75-300mm to fill up the range!!
Doh!! - Katsunami8/21/2011 11:09:00 PM
Hi, and thanks for this review!
I've shot for a long time with some huge Canon equipment and sold it all due to size in the end. What I really wanted, was a very small camera with 3 primes, with equivalent focal ranges of 24, 50 and 85-100mm, speed f/2 or faster.
Waiting... Waiting...
And then there are the 12mm f/2, the 25mm f/1.4, and the 45mm f/1.8, and all looking good too! Your review is the first I have seen of the 45mm lens, and I'm happy the outcome is positive.
Now Olympus (or Panasonic) just needs to create an E-P3 type camera with an integrated viewfinder in the top left, and I'll be jumping back into photography with both feet, sporting the 12, 25 and 45mm lenses.
Thanks for the review again! Hello Mark !!
Wow, a lot of people have been moving on from the E-system, or considering to move away into fully micro 4/3 PEN only. With more and more newer lenses, especially the fast primes coming into the line-ups, I do believe it is going to be as capable as the DSLR range.
Whichever decision you decide, I do not think you will regret it. PEN is still basically the same 4/3 system, just miniaturized.hello Katsunami,
Indeed, the new lenses released from both Olympus and Panasonic look very, very promising. faster primes have always been a huge demand from users of any camera system, introducing more of such capable, yet small sized lenses would be really advantageous for micro four thirds users.
I am sure in the future they would be integrated viewfinder of some sort inside the Olympus PEN camera (hopefully it is the anticipated PEN PRO).
It was my pleasure to do the review, and share my opinion !!Hi Robn,
I really enjoyed your series of reviews on the E-P3, and enjoyed this one as well on the 45mm f/1.8. I had pretty much decided not to get this lens as I already have a very expensive Zeiss 50mm f/1.5 Sonnar in the Leica M mount that I love to use on my digital pens, but as you point out, auto-focus is really nice, and based on your pictures seems to work really well.
I will definitely be considering this lens for a future purchase.
Kindest Regards,
Jed Perkins
Boulder, Colorado, USAHello Jed,
Thank you so much for writing your comments.
That is one gorgeous Zeiss glass you have there !! You must be loving it to bits.
It all comes down to your shooting style really, there are many manual focus shooters out there and they would come biting back at me saying they have no issues with manual focusing, and autofocus is not a necessity.
Nonetheless, should fast and reliable autofocus be significant in the shooting circumstances, then the new Olympus lenses will work wonders, such as the 45mm.
Do take note that those amazingly fast AF only works optimally on E-P3.Hello Zyran,
Thanks so much for the kind words.
The lens should be available next month (september), hopefully. I have not heard about the pricing yet. I am hoping it could be around RM1200 or lower !!
Hello Michael,
Thanks !! The entry will be coming very soon, I have all the pictures ready.- Anonymous8/22/2011 07:57:00 AM
Very nice review... I just want to know if this lens is already available in the market? Thanks.
-Peter - Anonymous8/22/2011 10:20:00 AM
Do you know if the lens focuses as fast and accurately on the EPL2?
Thanks Thanks for the review Robin, most appreciated (found it via 43Rumors).
This lens really promises to satisfy many of the reasons I hoped would be correct when I bought into m43: fast, high quality, small and reasonably priced when compared to DSLR.
I really hope it is available in KL by mid September, as I'm passing through then.My English is very bad.
Excellent review ... thanks ... ... I am Brazilian and here it is very difficult to buy a camera. Here an olympus E-P3 (with 14-42mm kit) costs more than $ 1800.00. I have a friend going in October (USA) and I will order one E-P3 more lens-(14-42mm - 40-150mm). Maybe I buy a 3rd lens .... I have to decide .... but performance with the fixed 45mm lens was impressive ... very good review.hello tom,
thanks for the compliments. surely, pen is the way to go in the future, they will surpass dslr in everh regard, buf of course the day is not here yet, buf very close now.
I sure hope the 45mm is available before your visit here in malaysia by mid september. at the moment no exact date has been announced.
hello andrezao from brasil!!
thank you very much for your kind words, I am glad you have decided to dive into pen system. 45mm as a third lens is a marvelous choice, you gain advantage in low light shooting and the capabity to produce good background blur. you will love this purchase! go in the future, they will surpass dslr in everh regard, buf of course the day is not here yet, buf very close now.

Robin, I have the EP3 Silver with 14-42 and 12mm. The camera is amazing and so easy and FUN to use. I have D3 and most fast glass, but it all feels so big and heavy. Going to Hong Kong soon and soooo tempted to just take the EP3 and a few lenses.
Your review and photographs are excellent. I like that you addressed Bokeh and the impact of a longer lens on DOF.
Cashiers, North Carolina Thanks Ralph for such kind comments !! I am still new and still learning in this photography world.
I have heard many times that street prices for many gear are significantly cheaper in Hong Kong ! If that is true, why not get yourself some nice lenses? I would too if I stop by.
It is refreshing to hear positive remark about micro 4/3 system from a full frame user with great prime lenses, such as yourself. I am sure you are loving the small size and light weight, especially when you are on travel !!Great review Robin. I appreciate your real world experience with the lens and camera. The reading was enjoyable, and the photos are great. I was planning on holding onto my GH2 and bypassing the EP3. Now, I may have to look at the EP3 a little bit more closely in spite of the GH2's superior high ISO. It sounds like the EP3's auto focus is even more responsive than the GH2's. In conjunction with the styling, the EP3 is looking very attractive. I have the 45/1.8 on pre-order, and I am itching to finally try it out. Thanks for the great review.
ReplyDeleteHello Armando,
Thank you so much for such kind comments, you are being too kind !!
The 45mm works efficiently for E-P3, but your GH2 is no slouch either. Although I have not used one, but my friends have told me they are happy with its performance. The 45mm will not be as fast as it should be on E-P3, but I do think it should work flawlessly on your GH2.- Anonymous8/23/2011 12:31:00 AM
I was directed here from Steve Huff's site. Great review Robin. Like your writing a lot. I will definitely look forward to your future reviews. Stunning pictures with this small camera, and the lens seems to be first class.
ReplyDelete - Anonymous8/23/2011 01:42:00 PM
I don't know if anyone commented on this yet, but BOKEH is not "background blur" per se. It is the "quality of the backgound blur" or "the aesthetic quality of the blur in out-of-focus areas of an image" if you will. Bokeh can be pleasing, busy, harsh, etc. but it can't be counted or quantified. Saying "the lens has a lot of bokeh" sounds as misguided as saying "these speakers have a lot of rendition!" Just saying...
I want the lens anyways ;) hello anonymous,
thanks for sharing. the word bokeh originated from the japaese word "boke" which simply means, just "blur". therefore bokeh in english is desccribing the blur effect. if you want to dive deeper into the technical correctness of the term, you may find that "quality of blur" you were referring to is not the japanese word boke, but more accurately "boke-aji". I believe bokeh in general can be crudely quantified subjectively, eg this photo has more bokeh than the other. however, bokeh definitely cannot be accurately measured or displayed in numbers, which would not make any sense to measure blur.
just my opinion, feel free to disagree.- Anonymous8/24/2011 06:00:00 AM
Good review, quite a contrast to what I am used to seeing online. Glad to see a lot of good sample photos taken under real conditions with people in them.
ReplyDelete hello Jin,
Thanks for the kind words. I am sure you will love your E-P3
Hello Anonymous,
thanks for your compliments. I have always believed photography is all about real life shooting. I acknowledge the need for technical data and comparisons, but ultimately is what the photographer can do with the camera, not what the camera can do by itself that matters.Great review of the 45mm f1.8, Robin.
I'm building a kit of lenses for the E-PLm1 (when it comes out) -- I have in hand f2.8 17mm with optical viewfinder, the Panny 24mm equiv optical viewfinder to use with the f2 12mm, and I had the f1.8 45mm in mind.
The 45mm is now a certainty, thanks to your excellent review. You were photographing exactly the type of thing I photograph in Papua New Guinea -- dancing, cooking, people, streets, markets,etc. Life, dammit!!! Lovely shots -- I was envious.
I'm liquidating my Panny G1 to shift into the smaller E-PLm outfit.
Cheers, geoffHello Geoffrey
Thanks for the compliments !
Wow, I am sure you have so many wondrous photography opportunities in Papua New Guinea, I have not been there yet but the way you described it tempted me to explore there.
E-PM1 is ahead of the G1 in terms of autofocus speed (works as fast as the E-P3, I was told) and image quality. You will love it, I am sure !!- Anonymous8/31/2011 01:11:00 PM
Holy moley...a review with real images in real shooting situations...what a concept!!!
ReplyDelete - Anonymous9/01/2011 08:39:00 AM
Great review. I, too, am a DSLR Oly user (E-3 and many fine lenses) and contemplating going PEN all the way. I just ordered the Panny 20mm and can hardly wait for it to arrive tomorrow, and this baby to come out in the US. I mainly use my camera(s) for street, travel and macro photography and will likely upgrade to EP-3 from PL-1 soon. While I still like the feel of my E-3, it is SO much easier and more discreet with the PEN. It is reawakening my photo hobby big time. Thanks again. this is on my holiday gift list (to myself!)
ReplyDelete Thanks Anonymous for the complimentrs. As an E-3 user, I am sure you find the PEN to be easy to use, since the similar menu system and controls are maintained.
hello Lawrence,
I am glad that you find my review useful, glad that I could contribute. The lens should be coming out really soon !!
hello Lee,
You are welcome, and yes, the 45mm F1.8 is fully compatible with your G1, but the AF speed may not be as fast.- Anonymous9/18/2011 06:39:00 AM
I ran across your site and have looked at all your reviews of Olympus gear. Love your site. I intend to buy the E-P3 and either the 45mm F1.8 or 12 mm 2.0. Since you have used both, if you could only have one. Which one?
ReplyDelete Hi Robin,
Nice review! To be frank DPreview killed my interest in he EP3 when I saw their sample photos taken with this camera.. They looked dull and bland. But here your photos are simply delicious! (i'm drooling at the image and colour quality). Will get an EP3 once the f1.8 lens reaches Malaysian shores. Thanks for re-igniting my interest..Hello robin, thanks for the review and pictures.
I have an e-pl2 and im about to win a new e-p3 through work (for selling so many pens lol, 15 in 6 weeks) anyhow, i will be selling my e-pl2 to buy this lens.
I have played with it at olympus training a couple of weeks ago and we have just ordered it at work so cant wait to have a play.
Keep up the good work, Im keen however to see a few more of your photos using lower iso, if you have any, be great if you could upload.

Hi Robin,
Thanks for your 45mm review - it looks like an awesome piece of kit. I'm debating whether to buy this or the 50mm macro F2 instead. I shoot mostly macro but the 45mm f1.8 is looking like a better buy as I already have an EPL1 to use it with. Would you recommend this beauty over the 50mm macro, and do you know how close can I get with the 45mm? thanks and any thoughts would be most appreciated! Thanks, Barbara - TheDan10/26/2011 06:10:00 PM
Great review. Do you know if the M.Zuiko 45mm F1.8 would retain full functionality on a Lumix G3 body?
ReplyDelete Barbara and TheDan:
Robin hasn't replied (maybe he's not watching this thread), but I own the 45mm and can answer your questions.
Barbara, the 45mm does not focus very close. The distance is about 50cm, which for Americans is about 20 inches, I think. Like you, I wish it was good for macro. But it isn't.
TheDan, the lens works fine on Panasonic bodies, including the G3.- Anonymous12/07/2011 08:20:00 AM
Hi Robin, Great pictures! Can you tell me if they were shot in RAW or JPEG? And what further processing was applied to make them so outstanding. Many thanks for posting them.

Hi Robin,
Awesome review of the 45mm f1.8. Love the pictures taken.
Will Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm f1.8 perform well on a om-d?
3quilibrium Robin,
A great big hello to you from Sydney, Australia!
I only today found your website (while doing web searches about Zuiko lenses) and I'm really loving your site! :) Based on your review of the 45mm f1.8 lens I bought one just this afternoon and I'm already enjoying using it! I've read your review of the 60mm macro and will be getting that one tomorrow (I really love shooting iclose ups of all kind sof critters and flowers and whatnot)! :) I'll be using these lenses with my EP L-1. I don't know how much that will affect the output quality, but I shoot primarily for fun and as a form of self-administered therapy, so I'm far, far from a pro photographer or camera lens connoisseur of any kind. However, I love your reviews for the practical insight you provide and for the the photos you post to help people see for themselves the sorts of results they might get from the lenses and cameras you are reviewing.
Thank you so much for the wonderful work you do and please keep it up! :)
Best wishes,

Just another video from me. Like it? Dislike it? Tell me either on here or Youtube, username: TheHellishSmile
Kishi better make them meet or remember/reference each other in the manga because this was one of the many things he screwed over in the manga.
Seriously, Kishi, the whole point of revival was to have characters get some closure or bring something new to the table. Kimimaro didn't get to do anything (Like Chiyo for example) and him doing something with Jugo would've been the perfect move, but nope...makes too much sense I guess. I hope to God the anime does something ranging from a little reference or a meeting. Just something.
Anyways, enjoy the video

At the very least apple has to be more open to partnering with other companies and technologies in the future. Being too closed off can frustrate people, and push them away. Especially when the future is clearly all about conectivity. Can't control the world, but you can take the steering wheel and steer it where you want it to go. Blackberry10 coming on january 30, check it out
Apple, smart homes, and the connected future
Some of the more interesting things, at least conceptually, I saw at CES 2013 were the smart appliances shown off by the likes of Samsung and LG. They're not anywhere near the sci-fi of Tony Stark's house, never mind Star Trek or the Jetsons, but they're a beginning. As a geek and fan of futurism, that's exciting. And it's an area Apple isn't playing in publicly yet, at least beyond the living room.
Here's the pitch we got from LG: You're at work when your wife/husband calls to inform you of last minute plans -- the boss/in-laws/etc. are coming for dinner. Rather than panic, Homer Simpson-like, and race home, you pull up your LG phone, activate your LG vacuum (think Roomba) and start the cleaning. Then you check your LG fridge and it tells you you're low on milk, and your Maps app highlights to best store to stop off at on your way home. You tap a few more buttons and your LG oven turns on and begins to pre-heat. That extra lasagna you made on the weekend is about to come in really handy. You smile, put your phone back in your pocket, and finish up work. You got this.
Huge conglomerates like LG and Samsung make a dizzying array of products, far more than the sharply focused consumer electronics of Apple... or Microsoft, Nokia, or BlackBerry for that matter. Those conglomerates, for the most part, have also settled around a single platform -- Android, full-on or embedded, to power all their wares. Pretty soon it'll be powering everything from appliances to home entertainment, utilities to adult novelties. Cars, where Microsoft's Sync and BlackBerry's QNX are still highly competitive, may be one of the few exceptions.
In years past it was Apple's ecosystem that gave them tremendous advantage. Thanks to iTunes and its international reach, Apple could take payments and sell digital goods, be it media or apps, in more parts of the world than any other company. Thanks to their traditional business, they could sell the computers and software to both create and complement their mobile devices. Thanks to Apple TV, AirPlay, AirPrint, and the like, they could connect you to your living room or office. Thanks to Apple Retail, they could ensure a great customer experience pretty much from concept to point of purchase. Hyperbole or not, Apple's reputation was built not only on "it just works" but "it just works together".
Similarly, in the past, accessories and peripherals served to add value to our computing devices. Now technology has matured to the point where our computing devices are serving as platforms to add value to everything else that fills our lives. It's not enough anymore to make something that makes the iPhone or iPad, or any device, better. The device now has to make everything else better, to unlock the potential of everything else around us.
Apple doesn't -- and I'd argue shouldn't -- make vacuums, ovens, fridges, and everything else that their competitors make. Right now, "everything mobile" and "everything smart" are in such early days, it doesn't matter. But one day it might. One day, funny as it sounds now, the halo effect from your kitchen could be felt even in your pocket. "Hey, you know, you're buying this LG fridge, if you get this cheap -- heck, we'll throw it in! -- big screen LG phone, you'll also be able to..."
And to some extent, that's fine. Apple has never taken a shotgun or machine gun-like approach. They've always been a sniper, content to let competitors spend endless ammunition flushing out the high-value targets Apple then laser's in on and takes out with a single shot. That could very well be their approach to the connected future. While Apple hasn't traditionally been big on partnering outside of content and components, there will no doubt be companies whose interests align and whose products complement what Apple offers with iOS.
There will be Nest thermostats and Hue lightbulbs and Nexia home security gear and all manner of toys, and while Apple's market share is significant, it will behoove even competing conglomerates to make iOS apps for their connected devices.
Perhaps it'll be based on something as simple as what Apple has already shown off for cars -- Siri connecting to non-Apple products, and shifting control from them, through iOS, to us. For users, the interface is the thing, so owning the interface becomes akin to owning the thing.
There will be a day when we have houses like Tony Stark, and the iPhones and iPads in our hands, combined with natural language technologies like Siri, gestures, and biometrics let us control everything in and around them.
Apple will play in that future. The only question is how?

Apple, smart homes, and the connected future
What in the world are you talking about? How does a company that makes a 7.9 and 9.7" tablet have any issue making a phone bigger. It's ok to hate Apple ...just try to make some sense while you're doing so.
Those aren't phones. Consumers have shown time and time again they want bigger screens. The GS3 got a big sales boost after the iPhone 5 was announced. It and the Galaxy Note II are both selling incredibly well. More manufacturers are making larger than 5 inch phones. It'll be years before Apple catches up to them.
Then the novelty of the awesome looking screen wears off and people realize the large screen is't practical. Cant use it one handed, barely fits in your pocket, add a case on top of that and the thing is the size of a tablet. There will always be a market for large 5" screens but there's no reason to think that's the whole market. BB10 is rumored to be right in the sweet spot, one handed and 2 handed use. Where the iphone 5 is still a purely one handed design. Unless you have small fingers.
Im going with the 4.2" display on blackberry 10 for my next phone. I think even that's pushing it.
Bigger and LTE and catch up? What are you talking about? What's the point of having a big phone if it's not practical; like in your pocket/hand practical. When LTE was first introduced, it was a rare / small unestablished market and the chips were a drain on batteries; big batteries = big phone. Catchup? To what? What's in front? LG (or who ever) would need to make an App for their appliances to run on an iPhone/Android and they're good to go. There's your 'connectivity'.
Apple's belief is that if they can't make something fundamentally better, they don't do it. And I agree with that premise. Creating something "just for the heck of it" it a tremendous waste of resources and manpower.
On a similar note I don't get why a company has to have its tentecles in every aspect of everything. I'd say - stick to what you do well. This applies to both hardware and software/services. As you can probably tell I'm not thilled to see Facebook phones, Apple Search engine and the likes.
All of this will be used to track/trace/spy on you. They will promote it as flashy and cool but it will be used to spy on you. Your habits will be documented and then fines/fees will be added to your bills. Former CIA director came out on the senate floor on CSPAN, this year, and said that the technology in the new washer/dryer, TV, toasters, all of it will have backdoor snooping tech that will watch and track everything you do and that our 4th amendment does not apply to these devices, because the public has not voiced opposition.

Indiana Pacers assistant Brian Shaw confirmed in a text message to USA TODAY Sports that he has an agreement to become the Denver Nuggets head coach.
Shaw has been on the short-list of assistant coaching candidates who were seen as head coaching material for years now, but it had begun to look like he'd miss out on this sort of opportunity yet again after the Los Angeles Clippers decided to, in essence, trade for Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers on Sunday. Shaw was a leading candidate for that position, just as he had been for the Brooklyn Nets job as well.
HIRED: Clippers players thrilled for Rivers
HIRED: Jason Kidd's top focus in Brooklyn
The Nuggets' job became open when longtime coach George Karl was fired on June 6, this after his team won a franchise-record 57 games and fell to the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs. Former Nuggets general manager Masai Ujiri left to head up the Toronto Raptors' front office before Karl was ousted, and former Nuggets executive Pete D'Alessandro later took a job as general manager of the Sacramento Kings.
The Denver Post first reported Shaw's hiring.
While Shaw is best known for his playing days with the Lakers and his time as an assistant coach under Phil Jackson from 2005 to 2011, he has been a rousing success in Indiana while working with Pacers head coach Frank Vogel the last two seasons. Indiana pushed the defending champion Miami Heat to seven games in the Eastern Conference semifinals this season, and he has received significant credit for the development of young players like Paul George and Lance Stephenson. He won five championships combined as a player and coach while with the Lakers.

Connect with Megan and read more about her adventures on her blog.It's a long way from South Korea to small-town colonial Pennsylvania, a trip Megan Krempels made at the tender age of two, when she was adopted from her native Korea by an American couple. Last month, after 28 years, she took the scenic route back. Megan put her successful career as a creative director on hold and sold most of what she owned for a four-month, around-the-world exploration of new cultures, her own identity, and the tensions between successful American life and the deeper values she has cultivated in herself.
Megan grew up in a small town near Pennsylvania Amish country—"the only Asian in a sea of white people," she told me by email. Then for college she moved to Los Angeles, where she felt like a "small-town girl in a sea of city kids" and an "Asian who looks Asian but doesn't act Asian."
"You just feel out of place, everywhere," Megan said.
She stayed in Los Angeles after school and built a career in design, eventually helping launch Little Black Bag, a fashion e-commerce site, as the company's Creative Director. From there she got offers from a number of top companies and had startup ideas of her own. But something didn't feel right this time.
"Here I was at the top of my career, being requested at incredible jobs most people would kill for and I felt completely jaded and empty," Megan recalled. "Why do I keep hustling for this? To buy more? To move to a better place? I started getting healthy as a human but as a corporate cog I felt burnt out."
She decided to leave Los Angeles, and started kindling an old dream of traveling the world, a dream she had postponed due to financial worries. "Fear of not having money kept me in the spin cycle," she said. But now she thought about it differently. She had some savings, a retirement account she could cash out, a tax refund on its way, and plenty of stuff she could sell. She decided to go for it.
She listed most of her stuff for sale on Craigslist and in a few days was driving across the country with her dog, going back home to spend time with family and old friends, and to plan her adventure.
First she booked a flight to Peru, a country she'd itched to return to ever since a trip there in high school. When she learned she needed proof of a return flight to be allowed in the country, Megan happened upon a strange itinerary: Rio De Janeiro to London to Seoul, back to London and finally back to Philadelphia. And it was cheaper than direct flights home from Rio. She booked it, realizing as she did that it would be her first time to Korea since her adoption in 1984. This trip would truly take her full circle.
Megan's goal in traveling, as close as I can get it, is simple enough to write. We all know the stuffiness that creeps into our lives, the accumulation of questionable habits, unquestioned assumptions, postponed and missed opportunities. These things hang around because they fit into our current lifestyle and relationships. Even seeing them clearly is tough. Changing them is near-miraculous.
Traveling internationally, not touristing but really traveling and experiencing cultures that are different from our own, is a wide open door that we walk through, out of our own stuffiness. From such a distance—the actual geographical distance giving rise to an emotional one—we can see our little worlds as the strange and arbitrary places they are and we can choose to live differently.
Part of the stuffiness Megan was trying to air out in her travels is the uniquely Western—and perhaps even more uniquely American—elevation of economic achievement as the primary value of a person. "Accomplishments, accolades, job titles, earning money and stuff: my personal self-worth was, um, 100% this for the majority of life," she wrote on her website. And by unraveling this flag of identity and exploring other value systems, she seeks to get closer to her own core values, and ultimate value, as a human being. "The fullest versions of myself. Who is that?" Megan asks. "I honestly dunno. I'm learning it little by little but honoring each second."
Finally, after four months in South America and a quick stop in London, she touched down in Seoul, South Korea and walked out into the country of her birth for the first time. "Physically, at first glance, yes I fit in," she told me. "The clothes magically fit, the shoes slide on my short, wide feet perfectly, and they know how to cut my hair." But when she asked locals if they could spot her as a foreigner, "there was a resounding response of, Yes, duh, absolutely."
Megan's American upbringing and fast-lane career success set her apart from the average young Korean woman. "The country still values traditional gender roles in their most stereotypical sense," she said. "Girls have found this interesting space of emulating the little girly-girl where they primp in public in front of huge floral-motif mirrors and take selfies in coffee shops. Meanwhile they run the show at home with their husbands and sons." Megan was not as fashion-conscious as her Korean counterparts, and not as conservative, and acted a little more confident.
At first she was turned off by the formality of Korean culture. "Korea is a land of discipline and conformity," she wrote, recalling a trip to a Korean salsa club. "You could only dance with a partner or you were forced into a corner to practice the steps in a group in front of a mirror. You weren't allowed to just dance freely." But soon she started noticing positive things: people's considerateness of others in public spaces, thoughtful design incorporated into everyday life. And when she got out of Seoul a whole new appreciation blossomed. "Once I got out of the hustle of the city, people invited me into their lives and homes like family. I've never felt that way before. That feeling of being fully accepted and part of a culture immediately without trying."
Now back home in Pennsylvania and planning her next venture, Megan says the trip helped her to appreciate her unique identity as a small-town-Korean-American-woman-startup-leader. "It's become kinda fun to surprise people and remind them not to judge a book by its cover," she told me, "to show them that someone young can have wisdom, a playful person can have depth, an artist can have a science brain, and being Asian isn't easily defined."
Through her travels Megan realized that she's not alone in her mixed identity. "I'm not part of one single entity. But I don't actually think any of us are now, so I feel a little less alone in that." Our increasingly connected world gives us the opportunity to identify ourselves not only by our origin, but also by our destination, and perhaps most importantly by the journey we take to get there.

The NCAA announced today that some March Madness games will be played at our NEW ARENA in March 2017! I've been saying over and over what a difference this is going to make for downtown Sacramento, and now the proof starts rolling in! The city's investment will be rewarded.
This will be the first time any of the college basketball tournament games have been played in Sacramento since 2007.
Congrats to mom-to-be Shani, a Masai giraffe who lives at the Sacramento Zoo! She will be delivering a brand new baby giraffe at some point this November or December. Chifu, seen in this pic with Shani, is presumed to be the father, seeing that he's the only male out of the 5 giraffes at our zoo! It will be the first giraffe birth at the zoo since the 80's!
For those who clicked through from my Facebook post, haha gotcha!!

Very interesting, I wonder what the devs have to say about the results.
Phoronix: Running ZFS With CAM-based ATA On FreeBSD 8.1
As was mentioned in last Friday's article, Which Is Faster: Debian Linux or FreeBSD, tests of FreeBSD atop the ZFS file-system (rather than UFS2+S) are currently underway and those results are expected to be published in full later this week as the ZFS disk performance is compared directly to UFS2+S, UFS2+J, and also Ubuntu Linux with the EXT4 and Btrfs file-systems. Today though we have a few ZFS performance numbers to share as we look at the performance of the new CAM-ATA sub-system on FreeBSD.
Very interesting, I wonder what the devs have to say about the results.
probably nothing? Remember, freebse devs told everyone and the world that softupdates were better than journaling and 'free'. Without performance impact. Until other showed them:
did they retract? did they do something about it? No, just silence.
there have been tests comparing ufs with softupdates and without. Since there is no journaling for ufs the rest of your posting aswers yourself.
Here is the only benchmarking test between UFS journaling and softupdates that I could find quickly. Maybe this is something Phoronix should test? After all, most popular Linux filesystems use journaling, so it would be good to know how well it stands up against softupdates.
There is. It's called gjournal.
oh sorry. And when was it introduced?
A request to the Author:
I just wanted to point out a difference between GNU/Linux and FreeBSD systems. Whereas Linux refers to just the kernel, FreeBSD refers to a fully functional Operating System of which kernel is just a small component. The Desktop Environment (Gnome, KDE, ... ), Xorg, even bash shell are third party applications that can be either installed as binaries or compiled from source with the excellent Ports infrastructure. Therefore, it would be great if the following sentence is corrected to:
The software stack being tested consists of the FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE x86_64 base system with KDE 4.4.45, X.Org Server 1.7.5, and GCC 4.2.1.
Please note the change: word "kernel" is replaced with "base system with".
Please keep up the good work!

How to Buy A Skateboard
There is a lot more to a skateboard than meets the eye. That little piece of wood on four wheels is actually a highly technical piece of equipment comprised of many parts, all working together for the optimum ride. Your individual style of riding, budget, and terrain will dictate what type of skateboard and components are right for you.
Choosing the right skateboard
The best way to choose the proper skateboard is to know what role each of the various components plays.

Top Definition
A whimsical, mystical creature that lives on kind words and disappears in the presence of harsh, unkind words. It is a cross between a snicker and a giggle (sniggle) and the "warm, fuzzy" feeling prompted by a cuddle. (fuzzle) Hence: Snigglefuzzle. Copyrighted in 1985 by Othello Bach.
The black and white haired Snigglefuzzle emerged from his pocket, jumped on his shoulder and giggled. When the agent began yelling at the little boy, the Snigglefuzzle became quiet and began to fade and jumped back into the boy's pocket. The mean words were killing the Snigglefuzzle. Afraid his Snigglefuzzle would completely disappear, the little boy ran toward home, all the while singing a happy song. After several verses, the giggling Snigglefuzzle emerged and jumped back on the boy's shoulder for the rest of the journey home.

Fireplace restoration
I started by chipping away the outdated brick mantel with a hammer and a cold chisel. After removing all the bricks I could without risking the structural integrity of the fire place I made a box mantel out of 2 x8's. Then I just bought some sanded ground and rubbed it over the existing brick.

Definitely one of the thoughts that crossed my mind. Right now the deal makes me a little uneasy as I have been partial to AMD and NVIDIA (for both graphics cards and chipsets) for quite some time. Even though your redblog ended with a positive review of ATI, it will take a long time for them to break the stigma they have forged in my mind for so many years. Hopefully, if the deal goes through, AMD will push them to bring the drivers up to par with NVIDIA's performance wise. I also really hope NVIDIA's focus on AMD system's will not lessen.Originally Posted by Michael
Another potential issue that doesn't affect me personally, but I find quite interesting anyway is Apple as they use Intel and (mostly) ATI.
I guess the bottom line is, if the deal leads to improvements in both AMD and ATI technology without hurting NVIDIA's relationship with AMD, I can only see things to look forward to. I am skeptical that that will be the case though.

buying anti-virus software?
why would i ever want to do that?

Phoronix: Phoronix Does Not Make Anti-Virus Software!
Since earlier this month I have received at least two dozen emails from individuals looking for a refund on software they claim to have purchased from us... What software? The Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and other software projects developed by Phoronix Media are free software...
buying anti-virus software?
why would i ever want to do that?
there are like 30000000000 free good solutions.
There's a sucker born every minute.
If someones is stupid enough to buy something without examining this first then they deserve to be punished like that.
The power of the "default" user...
Ahahahah lol. Well, maybe not so funny for the ppl that bought that antivirus. Perhaps Phoronix media should tell them that the biggest virus out there is called windows and ask them to swap for something else?
I wonder when people won't be that stupid to believe everything they see on their screens? I suppose if there would be a great campaign to educate PC users then there would be A LOT less viruses, trojans botnets and other crap out there.
P.S. Buying something that costs 60$ not from the "main" phoronix site but somewhere else and then come to phoronix to demand a refund
I guess the price of free software has gone up in the last few years :
Coming next... angry mob with pitchforks gathering in front of the house where, allegedly, Phoronix.com owner is hiding.
Well, Phoronix should at least ask those "Customers" to help locate those ads because if not nailed now, these refund threats will go on.
I think Phoronix has been chosen because those folks need a solid looking website that is about technology, tests & software and which would also not be able to punish them effectively if caught (no money to start a court trial or so).

Santana to square off against Angels for first time
Righty pitched for Halos from 2005 until offseason trade to KC
The Angels will see a familiar face in Royals starter Ervin Santana on Thursday in the opener of a four-game series in Kansas City.
Santana spent eight seasons in the Angels' rotation following his Major League debut with the club in 2005, starting 233 games for the Halos before being traded to the Royals during the offseason.
Santana is 3-3 with a 2.77 ERA in eight starts for Kansas City and will face the Angels for the first time. The right-hander will also get his first look as an opponent at Angels star center fielder Mike Trout.
Trout, 21, became the youngest player in American League history to hit for the cycle on Tuesday night against the Mariners. The reigning AL Rookie of the Year followed his historic performance with a triple and single on Wednesday.
Trout is 28-for-78 (.359) over his last 21 games with five doubles, four triples, seven home runs, five steals and 22 RBIs. He's improved his production since moving from the leadoff spot to the No. 2 hole, where he's hitting .302 in 38 games.
"There's no doubt Mike brings an energy and we saw some of it last year when he came up," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Mike is sort of a lynchpin as he is going to set the table, but you want to set the table for him as well in that two spot and he's responded well."
While the Royals have lost five of their last six games and are coming off a 3-6 road trip that began with two wins in Anaheim, the Angels have won a season-best four straight.
Joe Blanton, who replaced Santana in the Angels' rotation, will be searching for his first win when he takes the mound on Thursday. Blanton is 0-7 with a 6.62 ERA in nine starts. He allowed 15 baserunners in just 4 1/3 innings in his last start against the White Sox.
Angels: Shuck finding rhythm
Outfielder J.B. Shuck has seen his playing increase this season because of injuries to some of the club's regulars, which has helped him find a groove at the plate.
Shuck has started 30 games, a career high. Over his last 18 starts, he is hitting .250 with three doubles, seven runs scored and six RBIs.
"You get into a different type of rhythm than being on the bench," said Shuck, who has at least one hit in seven of his last nine starts. "It has helped me get into my swing and getting some at-bats has helped me get comfortable at the plate. I've always been kind of a small-ball-type player and that's what I'm trying to stick to."
Royals: Gordon swinging hot bat
Outfielder Alex Gordon extended his hitting streak to 10 games on Wednesday with a single in the first inning of a 3-1 loss in Houston.
Gordon reached base nine times in his 14 plate appearances in the three game series against the Astros.
"Some series you're going to do that, some you're not," Gordon said.
Gordon hit .486 (17-for-35) during the nine-game road trip. He is second in the AL with a .352 average and could challenge for the batting championship this season.
"It's early," said Gordon, who led the Majors with 51 doubles last season. "Sometimes you start the season out hot, sometimes you start out cold. The old cliche is 'take one day at a time,' and that's what I'm doing, not worrying about a batting title."
Worth noting
• Royals outfielder Jeff Francouer is 6-for-14 (.429) in his career against Blanton with a double and four RBIs.
• Angels slugger Albert Pujols is hitting .357 (85-for-238) with 17 homers and 58 RBIs in 62 career games vs. Kansas City.

Ash's Unfezant is the first Pokémon that Ash obtained in the Unova region.
Pidove was caught soon after Ash began traveling in Unova in Enter Iris and Axew. Ash tried to catch another Pidove beforehand, but the rest of the flock attacked him and Pikachu and flew away, leaving this particular Pidove pecking at the ground. She proved herself to be a strong battler, holding her own against Pikachu before being knocked out by his Thunderbolt and caught by Ash.
Pidove was then sent out in an attempt to rescue Pikachu and Iris' Axew from Team Rocket. However, it was easily defeated by Jessie and her newly-caught Woobat.
Pidove has mainly been used by Ash to search for other Pokémon, as seen when she was used to find two wild Darumaka in Saving Darmanitan From the Bell! and a wild Snivy in Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!. She played a major role in Snivy's capture, as she was unaffected by Snivy's Attract because of being of the same gender.
Pidove was used against Trip's Frillish in BW010: A Rival Battle for Club Champ!. She was quickly defeated by Frillish's Water Pulse. She was later sent to Professor Juniper's lab in BW018 to make room for Ash's Sewaddle, but was returned to his party in BW021.
In A Venipede Stampede!, she helped clear out a swarm of Venipede from the Castelia City. She was nearly hit by a Sludge Bomb, but was saved by Trip's Tranquill. She then cleared a few more Venipede and suddenly evolved into a Tranquill.
As of Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!, Tranquill was sent back to Professor Juniper's lab while Swadloon stayed on Ash's team but later in BW039: Archeops In The Modern World! Ash Brought it back to help a revived Archen learn how to fly in the air. It was then seen again in BW057: Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita! where it helped search for Ash's Scraggy, Iris' Axew, and Katharine's Gothita at night.
In An Amazing Aerial Battle!, Tranquill appears for Ash's Gym battle with Skyla, he used her to defeat Skyla's Swoobat after it beat Ash's Krokorok. It then Battled Skyla's Unfezant and was knocked to near fainting but Ash switched her for Pikachu. After Pikachu was defeated by Swanna, Ash used Tranquill again but she nearly lost, however Tranquill evolved into Unfezant and learned Aerial Ace, beating Swanna and winning Ash the Jet Badge.In BW085: Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 1), Unfezant was used in a Gym battle against Roxie's Koffing and just like Boldore, got knocked out.
