Lost Job/Apartment.....but I got a 'new' lens!!!

Tue Mar 31, 2009, 2:38 AM
Yea, so I got laid off (definitely the trend these days) and was forced to move back in with my parents. It sucks for obvious reasons, but the good/difficult news is that I basically get to decide whether I go back to school for Web developement, or find a full time job down in the seattle area and FINALLY move out of this tiny ass town.

On a much lighter note, I finally broke down and bought a used 18-55 :P I know it's not the most amazing piece of glass ever and certainly not the ultra wide I still VERY much want, but it's certainly a relief breaking free from my 28-80mm prison. I haven't taken too many pics with it, but it seems like a really good copy. Best part is that I got it for 80 bucks and the lady threw in a UV filter. In other lens news, my dad has always had this old Nikon FE film camera with a solid metal 50mm f/1.8 lens mounted on it and I was always curious if it would work on my camera.....it does! And it still takes some pretty nice pics :D Obviously the auto focus and metering don't work, but it's quite sharp, even at 1.8 and certainly opens up some creative options. Since I'm living here for the time being I will definitely be taking that out every once in awhile.

That's all for now. Expect MANY sexy car pics from the recent nissan meet I went to in the near future ;)
