As of lately: new camera lens.

Saturday, February 15, 2014

Since the age 13, I've always been into photography. In some ways it was the way I've found to entertain myself and help with my social skills (back in the days where the main reason to take snapshots of daily-life was to put it up on this website called Fotolog), which it did. But after some time it grew to be the one thing I love the most, reading about it and therefore learning new stuff never felt like work, i.e boring or an obligation. Well, I was never rich but my parents were able to get me a DSRL right after a disastrous incident with selling my superzoom canon online (I've got screwed by some jerk who sent a fake confirmation email from the site, he never really paid me). I chose the Nikon D60 because it was the one who felt more robust in my hands at the time for the price they could afford and since then I've been adding some little upgrades, like getting the 50mm f/.1.8 which was my favourite lens up until now.

If you know something about entry-level Nikon cameras is that they don't have an internal focus system, which means that most lenses won't have autofocus with 'em unless they were specifically made for the DX type of Nikon cameras, I was recently able to buy the Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 which has autofocus with my camera body and I couldn't be happier with it, giving the crop factor the lens results in a close to 52mm in full-frames so, hey, it's kind of like using a really expensive body with a not-so-expensive lens. Below are some shots of it (taken with the iPhone by the way and even further down some frames from the last couple of days using the lens itself).
