Let me first apologize for the lousy picture, but it was made with the most awful compact camera and I am too tired/lazy to do some Gimp-magic on it. But…
As I told already, I dropped my DSLR camera last week by accident. This with the result that the 18-55mm lens that I have was broken. Well, at least the AF-function (Auto Focus) was not working anymore. Setting the focus manually is still possible, but that is not something you really want this modern days…
But some times one can get lucky. I was able to buy a very nice second hand lens today.
My new lens is a Nikkor DX 18-200mm AF VS lens. Nikkor is Nikon own brand for lenses and Nikon is known for its high quality lenses.
It is very nice lens that can be used in many circumstances. Hence, the 200mm makes it even a very nice zoom-lens. Although it is possible to make good pictures with full zoom while holding the camera in your hands, but it will lead to many pictures that are not clear. But this new lens has the Vibration Reduction (VR) that will help a lot on this matter. This will be my first experiences with VR, but what I have seen from it by now I really going to love this
Of course this lens is also Auto Focus (AF), but as said that is really something these days.
I really think I am going to enjoy this lens…. 🙂
I am happy that you could buy this and as you said that you were able to turn a bad event into something very enjoyable :).
Ohh… does this mean I have to pose again???
Oh. Come on, Marion. Now don’t act like you only pose to make me happy, because we both know very well that very far from the truth 🙂
He got you there, Marion. We all know that you love to pose for Rob 🙂
Rob, about you remark about the picture to this message (being to tired/lazy to enhance it), I noticed more then once that the pictures on your blog are not that nicely edited as the pictures you have hanging on the walls in your home. Is there a reason for that?
You saw that correct, Sanne. The pictures I use here on my weblog I mostly don’t process really. I mostly on correct white balance and crop them. That is all.
Why? Simple. Mostly I write the articles on my weblog very spontaneous and don’t to much on the pictures themselves.
But maybe you are right and should I give the picture more attention. I will better my life 🙂
