Thanks friend for sharing the spy-shot of this truck. I'm not sure exactly but it looks like tail lamp design of the DMax or GWM Wingle 5, so the third-brake light, wheel arch looks like Toyota Hilux. But the addition of fin on fender ? That's looks like the idea of Ford Ranger. Searching on the Internet, I finally found the spyshot just like this car. So, this looks like  Foton Tunland, a China Brand as mentioned in Paul Tan automotive blog  here and here .

For those of you fan of Olympus m4/3, you may watch the 60mm macro in Zuikoholics Malaysia field test video, the bug-zilla macro. Jump to the Zuikoholic Malaysia here.

I have few photos only on motocross but I think I already fall in love with this sport.

M.Zuiko Digital 60mm 1:2.8 (source: Zuikoholics ) Zuikoholics Malaysia, a new blog which runs by the group of Olympus enthusiasts has published their preview and preliminary field review of the most awaited m43 macro lens, the M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm 1:2.8. Quoting Zuikoholics, while the 100mm macro lens that suppose to be on Olympus 4/3 lens roadmap is missing, it is now replaced with this new lens. Personally, I wish Olympus will not abandoned entirely the 4/3 system because there are reasons why I still keep my Olympus 4/3 systems. Anyway, jump to the links for further information: Preview | M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm 1:2.8 Macro Sneak Peek at the M.Zuiko Digital 60mm f/2.8 Macro Field Test Review | M.Zuiko Digital 60mm f/2.8 macro Episode 1 & 2 Trailer | Video with M.Zuiko Digital 60mm f/2.8 macro In other prominent review from Malaysia, Robin Wong via his popular blog is the first to fully review the lens. 

Update: the photo is now has been replaced with the new one =)  The Isuzu DMax (Olympus E-3+ZD ED 70-300mm)  I would like to thank Isuzu for the media facilities and Borneo Safari for the adventure opportunity. Also on behalf of 4wd-suv.com, we hope to extend our cooperation for this year Borneo Safari edition, the Extreme Kinabalu 2012. Here is the previous entry about the I suzu DMax in Borneo Safari 2011 . Jump to the B orneo Safari official website .

The ZD ED 12-60mm SWD f/2.8-4.0 Weather resistant lens - proven during rainy 4x4 challenge photography I bought this lens together with the Olympus E-3 in 2007. Since then the lens become my favourite with over 90% of the time usage. It covers from wide to moderate tele and also not forgetting macro capable. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this lens for its Super Grade, dust and weather resistant. However the lens eventually suffered with aperture stuck issue in early 2009. Having serviced by Olympus Malaysia, the lens is working perfectly until extreme usage of this lens during wet and muddy Borneo Safari 2011 where the SWD was totally out of order. The symptoms began with refuse to focus from 12mm and then all the zoom ranges where the lens does not response to focus at all. Manual focus helped a bit but there was a smearing effect in the photo. The lens is now at Olympus Service Centre since April 2012 because I still couldn't decide whether to bare the cost (...

Malaysia 4x4 Jamboree was held at Sepang International Circuit Off-road Park on 15-17th September, 2012. It is one of the biggest outdoor shows and challenges in Malaysia which comprises of the modified 4x4 challenges, rally challenges,  motocross and atv challenges. The 4x4 Adventure Club Kuala Lumpur (4x4ACKL) is again leading the event to success as the last jamboree in 2010. Kudos to 4x4ACKL for the exciting jamboree. Behind the scene Personally, I was fortunate to travel in Kuala Lumpur during the Malaysia 4x4 Jamboree, thus my best opportunity to take some photos of my favourite event, the 4x4 off road challenge. Most of my works for 4x4 photography are in Sabah. Photography on the 4x4 actions are not a slow motion or fear of camera gears to be in the mud. It is definitely a physical challenge to the photographer (and camera too) to get the best and safe spot to capture the action. As usual I am using my favourite Olympus E-1 w...
