<\/p>\nEver 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. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
I was too tired to take any proper photo of the combo … so here’s a simple snapshot of it …<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The new sexy black body now completes the 50mm f1.4 lens. Time for some test drive this weekend!<\/em><\/p>\n This is my Nikon FA that is now inseparable from the pancake lens. \ud83d\ude1b<\/em><\/p>\n “The\u00a0Nikon F3 was\u00a0Nikon’s third professional\u00a0single-lens reflex camera body, preceded by the\u00a0F and\u00a0F2. 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\u00a0Giorgetto Giugiaro, and to include a red stripe on the handgrip \u2013 a feature that would later become (with variants of stripes and various other shapes) a signature feature of many Nikon cameras.”<\/em><\/p>\n 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 …<\/p>\n 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.<\/em><\/p>\n 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.<\/em><\/p>\n 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*<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 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.
