new lens

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2007.09.02

Mari and I went for a check-up at the clinic again (they seem to be slated for every three or four weeks). And on the way back I dragged my wife into a small shop that by now she knows all too well. I didn't walk out empty handed.

Yes, just when Mari thought it was all over, I bought a new lens. It's a 50mm "normal" ratio lens, nothing particularly sexy. But at ?6000, it was close to the price I got for selling a lens to the store where I came across it.

Both of these were shot with the aperture at around f/5.6.

Hee hee! I like it.

...and when you try to get some, it surely can be hard. There's always trouble waiting, when you leave your own back yard.
