Here I am behind my computer &#8230; blogging (and bitching) about another weekend gone by &#8230; but I&#8217;m sure from tomorrow onwards (Monday!) &#8230; time behind the desk will be crawling slower than ever. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/misc4\/EP120mm_test01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yesterday was the World Toy Camera Day and despite my &#8216;action packed&#8217; schedule, I managed to shoot 2 rolls of film but yet to get them developed. Apart from that, I was testing out my E-P1 and the Lumix 20mm combo all the time. I find the performance of this lens very good (will write more about that later in another entry) but the auto focus speed when paired with the E-P1 is slow. Yeah &#8230; much slower than the E-P1&#8217;s 28mm pancake lens. Not too big a problem for me except then photographing my little boy (though I think I did pretty well in some shots of him today &#8230; will post them later).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bokeh is pretty neat! I ain&#8217;t one that go all out to get nice blurred background (yeah &#8230; I&#8217;m more into blurred foreground! LOL!) and bokeh stuffs but since I&#8217;m trying out the lens &#8230; I thought I might throw in some of these. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/misc4\/EP120mm_test02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/misc4\/EP120mm_test03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Not sure why the hell I took this one but I kinda like the clouds.
