Ever since I found that pancake lens to use on my Nikon FA … I find myself not wanting to remove it (from the body) and thus my 50mm lens got neglected for a while. I took pity on it and managed to find a good condition black Nikon F3 to ‘accompany’ the poor lonely lens and I really love the combo! The moment I held that F3 in my hands … I could feel that it is solid like a tank! Cool! A little heavy but might be handy when I get into trouble doing street shooting. 😛
I was too tired to take any proper photo of the combo … so here’s a simple snapshot of it …
The new sexy black body now completes the 50mm f1.4 lens. Time for some test drive this weekend!
This is my Nikon FA that is now inseparable from the pancake lens. 😛
“The Nikon F3 was Nikon’s third professional single-lens reflex camera body, preceded by the F and F2. Introduced in 1980, it had manual and semi-automatic exposure control whereby the camera would select the correct shutter speed (aperture priority automation). The Nikon F3 series cameras had the most model variations of any Nikon F camera. It was also the first of numerous Nikon F-series cameras to be styled by Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, and to include a red stripe on the handgrip – a feature that would later become (with variants of stripes and various other shapes) a signature feature of many Nikon cameras.”
I’ve been feeling really ‘low on battery’ for the last few days. Tired. I’ve to pick myself up … recharge and get back to normal soon. Was feeling pretty okay just now after Fitzand went to bed … so I decided to do some housekeeping and sort out the photos I took of Fitzand during my recent trip to Tokyo. I’m always too lazy to sort out photos but I hate the backlog. Not sure if grabbing a coffee now will help but so far I’ve only gone through maybe 5% of the photos and decided to call it a day. Hahaha! Anyway … I’ll post two of my favourite ones from the batches I went though …
Colors straight outta the camera! Cool eh? I simply love the colors the Olympus Pen produces … even the skin tones looks good without post processing.
He was messing around with this hat but we didn’t buy it in the end. Not practical for the crazy super hot weather here.
Guess my battery ain’t gonna last to long and thus we’ve come to the end of this entry. Hahaha! I need perhaps 90 hours of sleep & rest for a full recharge but too bad … tomorrow is a working day. Hmmm … maybe I should just call in sick? *evil grin*
