My new zoom
[posted at 07:16 GMT]    

Sunday morning I took road to North Holland about 170km from where I live. Reason was that I like to buy my first (yes you heard right, first) zoom lens. Things are evolving and even myself, who always was for prime lenses, as I was always for manual focus bodies, is buying zoom lens.
Same situation as it was with auto focus, is now with zoom. Until I find body which does auto focus the way I wanted, the way I have control I didn't use it. Now I bough this Tokina AT-X Pro 20-35/2.8 wide angle zoom lens. I like to go winder than mine 28mm Nikkor, and I always liked 35mm. I hope this lens will solve all my wide angle needs.





I spend more than two hours with this fellow photographer. Enjoying his company and pictures. We talked about all kinds of things. It was a great time and it always surprise me this. You know you meet person you never saw before and it feels so natural to communicate.
What was my great surprise and what pleased me much was when he offers to offer me a discount on lens if he can get one of my prints. I take that as one of the best way one photographer can give to work of other photographer. To buy his print.
