Voigtlander Bessa R3a w 40mm Nokton f1.4 lens @ $950
After seeing this guy I was hit by a bout of Gear Acquisition Syndrome last night and thankfully it was only temporary (I think). I went to peninsular plaza today to just looksee looksee and I saw a few things that were on my (unofficial) list.
- Epson RD1 (MY GOODNESS ITS AMAZING BEAUTIFUL AWESOME LA! YOU SHOULD SEE THE DIALS MOVE.. ahem.. *regains composure*)
- Lotsa leicas (in particular the M6 caught my eye..) – too expensive
- The Olympus OM1 (That I’ve been eyeing for cheap over ebay because its so pretty and small) – too small.. can’t even fit in my hand. haha..
- A beastly 55mm f1.2 nikkor lens – $500..
- Contax G1 – What? another type of mount??
- Hassy – too expensive
So after the walkabout, I didn’t even feel like buying anything anymore la. hahaha.. was just happy with the Minolta I already have. Then I also thought to myself that I should be taking more photos instead of looking for new and pretty gear to play with. Managed to move the counter to 26. About 12 more shots to finishing this roll of velvia!
Headed to Plazasing and managed to walk an entire round of the shopping center before my mom appeared. Thought I’d rather buy a soprano sax compared to getting a camera. Took the car home, now waiting to go Yixuan’s bday dinner at east coast. I’m tired! and stomach’s weird. Shall go shower.
