Finally found someone selling off a very mint condition Original Lensbaby! I’ve been waiting for this for quite a while now and today, I just picked up one to pair it with my old neglected Nikon EM. The EM was my first film SLR I bought a year ago and used it a couple of times before ‘upgrading’ to a Nikon FA. I love the compact and light EM and thus wanted to find a Original Lensbaby to pair it for film photography using a Lensbaby. The reason why I was hunting for the Original Lensbaby is because of the primitive single element optic (that’s what those guys at Lensbaby call it now) that will give big time lo-fi results. Will it work fine? I don’t know (yet). Hope the metering works fine, since the EM is an aperture priority camera. One headache will be the split focusing on these old cameras. How on earth can I focus when the Lensbaby is bent? Guess I’ll have to try it out soon. I’m so excited about shooting film using the Lensbaby! I can now try (if it works) cross-processing and of course black & white film on it. I’m keeping my fingers (and toes and everything else ) crossed.
Since I was taking a photo of the Nikon EM and the Lensbaby, I decided to take a picture of a new camera bag that a friend bought me recently from Korea. It’s probably my favourite camera bag now … for it’s pretty casual look and it doesn’t really look like a camera bag at all. Best thing is that it is a real camera bag, with paddings and even a rain cover in it! Cool ain’t it? I’m gonna sell of one of my other camera bag … I think I have one too many! 😛
Oh! One BIG PROBLEM I have with this bag is those text in front of it that reads ‘STOP WAR ,LOVE FOR PEACE , PEACE NO BLOOD’. I roughly get what it’s trying to say but … gosh … can’t they just print a Hello Kitty on it instead? I’m gonna find a way to cover it up soon. Duh!
