Kembali Ke Awal Lagi!

Mungkin akan menarik untuk kembali ke dasar: Nikon D50 + lens kit AF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G ED DX dan bila aku butuh tele maka aku membawa lensa kedua yang aku beli: Nikon AF 70-300mm 1:4-5.6G (cheapest Nikon tele zoom full frame lens!)

Kenapa begitu?

Sebenarnya aku jenuh dengan ke mana-mana membawa Sigma 24-70mm 1:2.8 aku yang jauh lebih berat daripada lens kit itu. Aku juga ingin memberikan tantangan baru pada diri sendiri: dengan lensa kit + lensa murah juga bisa mendapatkan hasil yang memuaskan, seperti yang kualami dalam dua tahun pertamaku "menggotong" DSLR.

Jadi yang kulakukan sekarang adalah mengambil lagi tas kamera Lowepro-ku (yang sayangnya tidak All-Weather itu), mengatur ulang susunan padding-nya, lalu memasukkan lensa tele zoomku (serial number 9201312), ditambah bodi Nikon D50 (serial number 8034160) dengan lensa kit 18-55mm (serial number 2296324) terpasang!

Biarlah Sigma-ku, Nikon 50mm 1:1.4 AI-s, dan Nikon AF 80-200mm 1:2.8 D tersimpan dalam dry-box ecek-ecek di bawah meja itu.  Aku ingin mencoba kembali ke awal lagi!

Tele-Zoom Lens

For an action photography, I think that my Nikon AF 70-300mm G is not adequate enough.
Take a look at this photo for an example.

Because the action happened in broad daylight, I was able to capture the contestant's facial expression clearly enough. That two shots at the lower side was at 300mm f/5.6! That's why the depth of field is somewhat large.

But to buy a wider (or "faster") lens, I had not been able to sum up the money needed.

Damn, life's hard when you're dirt poor!

So that leave me with the option of ONLY shoot with my tele-zoom in BROAD DAYLIGHT - which left me with so little possibilites (which I haven't explore yet)!

On second thought, maybe it's an adventure waiting in shooting tele with my lens here! Remember: I already purchase a monopod.

In the end, its better to have this lens for everyday shooting. It is CHEAP enough - even for me - that if it get broken I could just go to a respectable camera store and buy another one...
