mudah!

yeah.. why, u were there too? i saw Isepunye there.. were u with him?

but be reminded that this lens will be auto-cropped when u r using FX body

anyway, ive tried Nikkor 35mm F2.8 AIS, and it is a superb lens!

just got this gem with a super cheap price!



the best part -->

made in Japan is very hard to get nowadays.. usually people only have the Made in Thailand version
plus, i got the Japan version cheaper than Thailand

i used to have the Thailand version last time.. the painting & marking was different, the painting Nikon 18-70 already faded.
as for this Japan version, the painting is stronger, still intact, despite its old age.

the built for those 2 versions are same, except the elements inside.. Japan has better elements than Thailand's (i searched everywhere for the review, but i couldnt find any.. this testimony came from my sifu )

oh, my Thailand version didnt have any print about Japan at that spot


during the D70's era, if im not mistaken, there was a kitlens made in Japan.

and regarding this 18-70 kitlens,
"This is a serious lens, not a "kit lens" or a cheap replacement for a lens cap sold as part of a kit as with most other cameras." [Ken Rockwell]

still, correct me if im wrong.. im not a lens expertise, im just sharing my knowledge

my new h00t



sample pictar, no cropping, edited the brightness part only, resized to 800x600 via LR:

the most cheapest full frame that i can afford

shoppinggu~
- 3 rolls 35mm negative film
- Pentax extension tube
- M42 extension tube
- M42 to Pentax adapter

i just got this awesome lens for less than RM200

quite cheap becoz the aperture-clicking is quite hard, and there's a tiny cleaning mark at the front element - nothing to be bragged off as its a manual lens and can be serviced easily

sekarang main filem pulak!

*not in the photo: Hanimar Auto S 135mm F2.8 and a bunch of films

just bought it last night
