Yr Message box is full. Yeah, i have one that i hardly use. haha
 


Well.. Torchlights is my other hobby, and I took this picture of one of mine with mytrusty 40 year-old 55 f/3.5 micro Nikkor.
 

let me clear my toto and 4D papers, if i teoh, maybe then can.

You are a riot. If kena toto or 4D can get a Zeiss or Leica lens.

I got the 50 f1.2 AIS after viewing bro Cichlid's power shots. Dreamt about it in my sleep even haha. Its a lovely lens. Bokeh king and the MF ring is soooo smooth. I am sure the f1.4 AIS will be the same, so worth every bit to look out for another copy.

I have since picked up a used 50mm f1.8D for those quick and dirty street shots. I put this on my camera when I am walking around with nothing in mind. Both are my fav lenses for now.

i want fast fast fast lens. Zeiss is a great lens. F4 bleeding sharp... totally flare resist. 8 aperture blades... but it is 2.8. not as fast as the other CZ... but we are going off topic.

anyway i touched a moldy but solidly built 50/1.4 AIS last week. the feel is very very different...sad to say I have fallen in lust. It is a terrible feeling.

when i think of how many tins of milk powder i can buy instead, suddenly not in lust already .

One should not alway think like this. Life's short. It will be over before you know it and the question then is how have you lived it. I've attended 3 wakes this past 2 weeks. The youngest who passed on suddenly without warning was only 52!

So let someone else worry about the milk tins and go for your 1.4 AIS. You will be so happy with it - just think of all those razor sharp feline photos you are gonna take with creamy background bokehs.

Poison poison haha.
