Notes from 11th Aug 2004
[posted at 10:00 GMT]    

I have just got my new Lens, Nikkor AF 50/1.8D. Well it is plastic as all the auto focus lenses I guess, but it is better than I saw before. Even manual focus ring is useful and focusing has a little feeling is not like moving nothing. I put it on my Nikon F80 and everything start to work. This lens has even aperture ring and DOF scale on it. Auto focus is quite noisy, not extreme but well you can hear screws working :-)
I wish I could have a more time to play with it, but after coming from work today I joined my wife with rebuilding room of our kids. Quite a work it is almost midnight and I only jump here and there to play with camera. It was nice to fin out that with this lens camera is focusing without assist light in quite dark. When I compare view finder of F80 with my OM2n I can say it is brighter but smaller.

And tomorrow small trip to France I am taking F80 with me, first life use. I tell you more tomorrow. And I hope I will have some more time when we will finish this house activities to put new shots, I have quite a lot of them.
