我爱40D!

2008.03.14


今天在茗的介绍下参加了 momi+leaf 的讲座,人数比预期多,事后与阿虎和千年蛋到了附近的稻香吃火锅,地方和性价比都不错,可以再光顾。

期间谈到 momi 刊物,原来阿虎还没有看过,我鼓励阿虎投稿,但他说要先看看,我说我会找茗预留空间给阿虎,题目是"我爱 40D"(原因是阿虎最近买了 Canon 40D)。千年蛋说其实"我爱 36D"或"我爱 36C"比较理想... :)

Steve McCurry

I am reading forums re portrait lenses and one asked a question on 85mm f/1.8D (http://www.nikonians.org/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=read_count&om=24183&forum=DCForumID6) and someone posted the following response.

_______________

I have the 1.4 version but plan on purchasing the 1.8D version because it significantly smaller and lighter for travel photography.

By the way, Nikon USA www.nikonnet.com/dyn/articles/article_detail/76.html reports that Steve McCurry, the one who shot that famous Afgan Girl portrait, carries the 85mm f1.8D in his bag.

_______________

About what's in the bag:

In the Bag

As you can see from his photographs, Steve McCurry likes to work up-close and in low light, and that calls for short, fast lenses on his two F100 and two N90s bodies-generally a 28mm f/1.4D or 35mm f/2D AF Nikkor. He also carries an 85mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor and a 105mm f/2.8 AF Micro-Nikkor. He packs an SB-24 Speedlight for those times when fill-flash is necessary, and almost always uses a sturdy tripod.

His non-photographic, but absolutely essential gear includes a Swiss Army knife ("because you never know when a corkscrew might come in handy") and the all-purpose, all-in-one Leatherman Tool ("more than once my driver has used it to fix the engine").

Nikon AF 80-200mm

Just found that there are several versions of 80-200mm.

1. Original Version Nikon AF zoom Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8s ED MK I (1988~1992)
2. Nikon AF zoom Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D ED MK II (1992~1996)
3. Nikon AF zoom Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D ED Dual Rings MK III (1996~1998)
4. Nikon AF-S zoom Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D IF-ED (1998~2006)
5. Nikon AF zoom Nikkor 80-200mm f/4.5~5.6D (1995~)

My friend's should be #2.
See more...

Trial

One of my friends TF has recently bought a D300 and a 18-200mm lens. He
used to be a Nikonian but didn't use his gear for a while.

We went out to TST for a trial of our lenses:

Mine => Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G VR IF-ED
His => Nikon AF 80-200mm f/2.8D ED

D300 is quite impressive. Apart from body build and speed (very fast,
especially playing back), the LCD has a much higher resolution (900K+)
than mine as well as Canon 40D etc. (200K+).

There were too many people in TST to start with but more people (most
tourists) dropped by later on... In TSTE, quite many couples took
photos. Later on I found that there's a marriage service that that's why...

再见皇后

http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/%E5%86%8D%E8%A6%8B%E7%9A%87%E5%90%8E:139

Early (not really)

I slept at 3am and didn't plan to get up early.
Tiger called at 8:50am for some emergency matters.
No concrete answer though.

Anyway... take care... I think he should better stay in HK.

Well awake now...

Looking at some technical matters - lens comparison and bokeh => http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/bokeh.htm
