Finally getting into gear.

It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve made the step. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve acquired a mate’s old flatbed film scanner, and ordered two lenses. I am excited, and in debt. Is that cause for more excitement?

The lenses I’ve ordered are the Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 AIS (it’s at the folks and I don’t get it until after my birthday!) and the Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8. I’m hoping these will challenge me creatively and in what I can use them for (hopefully more than nice glass paperweights).

The film scanner is a bit of a learning curve. But… rather than much needed furniture, I need to extend myself creatively.

    you will love the 50mm! Always nice to play with new gear, after a week you won’t know how you ever lived without it.

    Jeff, Paul and Barbara – thanks so much for your comments. I’m a little scared, but also a lot excited. I hope this presents new challenges and helps me grow more in my work!
