Just received my Nexus One from Google and could not be more impressed. I purchased it directly from Google with free overnight shipping and unfortunately charged me tax. My phone is unlocked so I am not forced into any new contracts. My first impressions are just amazing. I love the look and weight of the phone. Some of the best apps and best of all everything is integrated with my existing Google contacts, calendar and etc…. ...Read More...
I have given some thought about the entire film vs. digital cameras the came to a single conclusion. I am not going into the entire argument on how one is better then other or on one brand vs other.

I sold most of my Nikon DSLR gear to fund a digital Leica. For now I feel like the M8.2 prices are on the way down and want to wait. I understand that a camera body looses value over time. I wanted to keep 2 Nikon lenses as they are not worth much on resale value, but I like the way photos looked on my D300. I kept the 35mm f2d lens reviewed by me here, 50mm 1.4G (I dont know if it will work on the old FM2N) and an old 100mm 2.8 e lens.

Camera straps are sold in so many varieties, but to me a strap must work wit a specific camera. My DSLR and my Leica are 2 very different strap requirements. For my heavier Nikon D300 I use the Black Rapid StrapS RS5 strap. I checked quite a few various straps in a store in person and I though this would make a great addition. I liked the way it slings over the shoulder with the camera on the lower side. A very high quality strap and quick to draw when hanging on shoulder. Here is a video on Youtube.com that explains how to wear it. Even though in the vid it shows a big camera with a large lens it works perfect on smaller DSLR cameras. I originally got it when I had the Nikon D60 and it worked great. ...Read More...
The Nikon 35mm f/2D lens is becoming one of my most used lenses with my D300 camera. Not only is it a bargain, but I have taken some of my best photos with it.
The lens is light and small and is packed with features and creates wonder color renditions and amazing bokeh. This lens can be used on film cameras, cropped sensors digital SLR and full frame digital SLR cameras. This lens had some problems back in the early 2000s which have been resolved by Nikon since. When buying used it is best to make sure that it is one of the newer versions. ...Read More...
