D40x + 35 1.8 P&S


D40x + 35 1.8 P&S, originally uploaded by gugs.

An interesting high quality compact camera and a highly recommended combo. I added the recently released 35mm1.8 lens to the D40x camera (same body as the D60). The 35mm is approximately equivalent to the 50mm everybody was using on film reflex cameras in the good old days. High quality, no zoom (use your feet), back to the good old photography... I really love this camera for the compactness and the light weight. Everybody should give it a try.

Tilt lens


studio -2, originally uploaded by gugs.

A funny or strange depth of field effect created with a tilt lens, an Ukranian ARSAT 80mm lens. Everything is sharp in the length... not so easy to manage.
