New Toy

It's my new toy, AF Nikkor 20mm f/2.8D.

I was looking for a wider lens and I was thinking about this one or AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED. In Wing Sing, the 20mm f/2.8 costed HK$3,380 and the DX one HK$6,000+ (forgot the exact amount). I was not sure if I wanted to spend 6K on a DX lens and so I bought the 20mm one. But in fact, functionally, the 12-24mm is quite good as it produces 18-36mm on my D80. Strictly speaking, 20mm isn't too wide as it becomes 30mm. But I like that technically speaking it can be used in a film camera and it's a faster lens.

Still need to play around with the new lens. Yesterday the weather wasn't too good. Otherwise I should have done more shooting after the grand Spanish dinner...

Lens HK$3,380
Filter HK$260
Hood HK$100
