What I am Doing Now (7 October 2022)
So, about a few weeks ago, Nikon announced Nikon Z 17-28mm (f/2.8) lens, which will be released in late October. It’s something I definitely want to rent and test its sharpness when it comes to Camera Rental Centre. Compared to my Nikon 18-35mm (f/3.5-4.5) lens, going 1mm wider but losing 7mm at the tele-end, which …
What I am Doing Now (30 September 2022)
Over the last few months, I’ve got a number of gear in and out. Here are the main changes. In: Nikon Z 6II , M.Zuiko 45mm (f/1.8) , Manfrotto 055CXPRO4 Out: Nikon D610 , Nikon 14mm (f/2.8) , Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 I had a difficult time finding a buyer for Nikon 14mm (f/2.8). Apparently, this lens …
What I am Doing Now (16 September 2022)
Besides Nikon Z 6II + Nikon 18-35mm (f/3.5-4.5) which is primarily for my cityscapes with long exposure at blue hour, I do own Olympus PEN E-PL10 and M.Zuiko 17mm (f/1.8) that I’m using for casual shots and when I want nice background bokeh. PEN is a Micro Four Thirds camera with a crop factor of …
What I am Doing Now (9 September 2022)
I’m back again in Uluwatu, Bali, but this time with my family. 😀 Unlike the last visit, I went to a few places of interest, but actually prefer just staying in the villa and chilling out. 😅 So, I went onto renting Nikon Z 14-30mm (f/4) and tested last weekend. Before renting, I was thinking …
What I am Doing Now (2 September 2022)
So, now I’m finally with Nikon Z 6II, but also thinking about introducing a bit of change to my lens lineup which consists of Nikon 18-35mm (f/3.5-4.5) and Nikon 14mm (f/2.8) . The latter will be let go, as it’s been underused and will not autofocus on the Z mount adapter. 😢 I’ve been using …
What I am Doing Now (26 August 2022)
It came earlier than I expected. Yes, after 8+ years with Nikon D610, I just (and finally!) got Nikon Z 6II last weekend! 😃 I bought it locally at TK Foto (at SGD2675), one of my trusted camera stores here in Singapore. I also got the Z mount adapter (FTZ II ) to continue using …
What I am Doing Now (19 August 2022)
Over the last weekend, I rented Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR lens from Camera Rental Centre here in Singapore to shoot cityscapes that require a longer focal length than what my Nikon 18-35mm (f/3.5-4.5) lens can cover. In Singapore, over 90% of cityscape shooting spots can be covered by 18-35mm, but when I come across …
What I am Doing Now (12 August 2022)
I’ve almost made up my mind to upgrade my body (Nikon D610) to Nikon Z 6II , but the problem is “when”. In fact, the body was sold at around SGD2,400 on Amazon Prime Day back in July, but gone back to $3,099 since then. I’m hoping that the price will go down on Black …
What I am Doing Now (5 August 2022)
Recently I turned 49. I can’t believe the fact that I’m nearing 50. That said, I want to think that I haven’t reached the halfway of my life yet, as I have a strong desire to live beyond 100! Personally I still feel like I’m in my late 20s. 😂 In a good way, I’m …
What I am Doing Now (29 July 2022)
Some time ago, when I was shooting Singapore skyline from Helix Bridge, I got approached by a guy asking me if I have an Instagram account. I said no, then he told me that he was gonna follow me. Last week in Bali, when I attended a wedding of my good friend Daniel who is …
