Bleeding

2007.12.23

A friend of mine (well... JRPY2, to be exact) recently got a Nikon D300 and an 18-200VR.

And he bleeded again today:

Flash SB800 @$2,630
Nikon 85/1.4 @$6,400
B+W Filter @$380

Some pics taken with his D300 + 85/1.4:

Repair

Recently I found that the flash of my Nikon D80 doesn't work. It just doesn't "jump" up when needed. It's reaching the end of warranty and so I brought it to the repair center in TKS today.

The girl brought the camera inside and later she told me that it's not mechanical problem, as they found something "sticky". Then I noticed some stains left on the body, which are mild but visible. Not sure when it happened as strictly speaking I have been using it quite carefully. Anyway, in theory, it should work ok.

And then she offered to refresh the firmware, which's free given that it's still within warranty. So I just left it there and picked up after work. But then I was told that the firmware upgrade has minor changes that they seemed not bother to tell (or they really got nothing to tell).

借来的美梦

昨天终于从 K 的蜜糖借了一部手动单反 Nikon FM2，今天没有带回公司，主要是考虑怎样去配合镜头，包括是否现在就买 50/1.4，还是作地毯式搜寻，看看各级朋友们有没有现货可以借给我。对新玩意我是有很高期望的。




K蜜还有一部 Nikon F90X or Canon T 什么，劲！

后记：JT 说一般机主会在网上隐藏机身编号，我只好从照片拿走了资料。
