AF-S 35mm f1.8G Test Shots

30-Jun-11 08:16pm     Figures / Model Kits, Random

A bit late in posting test shot photos of my newly acquired AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f1.8G lens.
It’s not that far with the 50mm lens but what matters is that the coverage is wider than the 50mm lens. I don’t need to move back that much to get the coverage area that I want.
Anyway here are the photos:

AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f1.8G GET!

24-Jun-11 07:19pm     New Items, Tech / Gadgets

My mind was debating whether to get a digicam (Ricoh) as a sub for my dslr or lens but finally decided to get the latter since I was longing to have a 35mm lens since long ago. My 50/1.8d is a good lens but it’s too cumbersome to just manual focus everytime I shoot. There are situations that I have to use AF especially shooting moving objects. I chose this 35/1.8g prime lens since 50/1.8d wasn’t wide enough and just manual focus.

To those who didn’t know, D-lenses don’t have built-in motors thus relying on camera bodies with built-in motors like Nikon D90, D7000, D300, D700, etc. G-lenses do have built-in motors that’s why it’s a bit bulkier and heavier than their counterparts and it enables DX cameras (no AF motor built-in on their bodies like D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D5000, etc. except for few models like the D90) to auto-focus since there’s a AF motor built-in on the lens.
To cut it short, G-lenses [ex: AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f1.8G] = lens suitable for DX cameras. D-lenses [ex: AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8D] = lens suitable for FX cameras.
Just search the internet if the explanation is insufficient.

GSC Nendo Petite BGM Festival Vol.0 GET!

21-Jun-11 06:34pm     Figures / Model Kits, New Items

It’s finally here. Got tempted to preorder this set as quantity and quality is there anyway.
The set contain characters from various adult visual novels / hentai games.
I’m not a fan of hentai games but a big fan of the product line itself. I collect Nendoroids after all.


Box is slightly bigger/taller than the usual nendo petite boxes.


Characters from left to right:
Miyako Miyamura (ef series, Minori)
Otome Asakura (Da Capo 2, Circus )
Uesugi Kenshin (Sengoku Rance, Alice Soft)
Shiino Kirari (Kira☆Kira, Princess Soft)
Asuka Watarai (Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai, Navel)

PS. Lomo effect is kinda cool. I might stick to it.
