• hohoho
  no one propzed me
  its ok
  propz this one! :D

  these dayz:
  pretty much the same
  looking for a job
  wanting to buy too many things
  hmmmmm
  o well
  picz time i guess?

  while looking through my grandpa's stuff for a flashgun
  i accidentally came across this...

  
  nikon 28 2.8 E
  the E series were the cheap nikon lens made in late 70's + early 80's
  they were cheap becoz of they simply design + construction
  and there were quite a bit of plastic
  BUT
  optically they're great lens
  and even though there're some plastic
  they still feel a lot better than any of today's newer lens

  
  it's a manual lens so no AF
  and no metering on my d80
  which means i have to guess exposure
  =o=
  worry not!
  the focus ring feels so great that i've abandoned my much newer 35 1.8
  metering isn't that bad a problem too
  since i've already taken over 50,000 picz with my d80
  my guesses r usually not too far off   :D

  
  i quite like the way it renders the bg
  this 28 2.8 on my d80 becomes a very useful 42 2.8
  so itz ~normal, with a fast enough aperture + deep enough DOF for most uses

  
  brokeh is not bad too
  (cropped from larger pic)

  
  like the blurry bg?

  
  flare control isn't too good though...

  
  allan jai enjoying his filet o'fish
  XD

  
  allan jai loves the feel of the focus ring
  (!!! my 28 2.8 meters on his d200 so he didn't have to guess exposure.... >< )

  
  in fact he liked it so much that he had to buy himself a manual lens
  nikon 75-150 3.5 E
  sorry for the bad focus
  should have focused on the lens not allan jai
  but he kept moving + i was using my 28 2.8

  
  like! :D
  shot with allan jai's 75-150 3.5

  
  allan jai also had some fun with my fisheye   :D

  
  random test shot
  ISO3200 (boost) looks very noisy
  but not too bad in B&W

  
  this is the only shot in this entry
  made with a lens that could focus + meter on its own
  taken with my 35 1.8

  propz plz!
  :D
