New gear


There's a new snake in my boot! (and by snake I mean a lens and by boot I mean my camera bag) I broke down and bought an amazing new lens from a fellow on craigslist. I won't tell any prices but I got an almost new lens for about 40% off it I would have bought it brand new.

Anyway, the lens is the Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G AF-S IF-ED. Since I know only about half of what those intitials mean I'll just say that this is the best and highest quallity lens I have in my bag and it shows in the photos I've taken with it. It's tack sharp at every aperture, it's the perfect focal length on a DX body for portraits and I couldn't be more happy with it. I'm excited to start putting it through it's paces.

Yay for new toys!
