Pentax ist*D - is when i started to earn

After being boombastic by my followers complaining about my outdated blog. Ok, lets do something outdated today. Sharing my second DSLR which bring me tonnes of trill and excitement when I step in the world of photography. It almost 5 years back when i got my hand on this camera, the Penatx *istD with 6.1M pixel......Yup, read my lips is 6.1. I'm fortunate enough to own this Camera as i know there are many better cameras around. Well, who cares as i got this unit for only RM3.5k that time.

Pentax *istD - This is how it look like

At that time i would say this is the smallest DSLR available in the market, even with the vertical grip attached, it still out run other cameras in terms of size. It was a great experience evertime i carry this baby around, people will just stare at this baby and wondering how this baby perform. I can tell you, the result is stunning and the colour is superb! I have very limited budget to own some great lenses, and my very first lens was the Pentax-FA* 28-70mm F2.8 (know as Star lens). This lens travel all the way from Japan to Malaysia with the cost of RM4.5k used unit. It's sharp, bright, heavy, and with a big hood attached...... I love it, as it's just so sexy when you look at it.

Of course, to me one lens is not enough and this is how i own my another lens. This time is Sigma EX 70-200mm F2.8, it's a used unit. I think I'm the third owner of this bazooooka......It was first owned by mentor, Allan then down to my club member, Meng. The lens look old and used to me, but who cares? As it just cost me RM1k together with the Lowepro lens case. I make my first income in photography with this baby, and soon follow by other jobs. I've tried to send this lens for repair due to the wear, but some how i was told it not worth to do it.

Anyone into manual focus lenses? Here is one, Pentax-A 50mm F1.7. It's a smooth and solid manual focusing lens which cost me only RM250. It was a great fun using this, especially each time I dial the lens to the desire focusing sharpeness. It just so smoooooooottttthhhhhh.....!

This sets of gears serve me well and it last me couple of years until I have to say goodbye to these ladies. I'm upgrading due to my job requirement, i need a faster camera that help me to complete my task easily and increase the quality of the shots. I miss you all ladies, you all make me realize how wonderful and beautiful is the world each time i look thru the view finder. I found my passion......Photography =)

*Something unforgetable - I burned my flash when I shoot during KLIB (Kuala Lumpur International Batik week), due to non-stop action even using manual shooting at all time..... I guess I really click alot =p

Want to know which side I'm gone to? Bright side? Dark side?......Stay tuned!

I'm Posi+tive - Life Sdn Bhd 5

Since I'm with Shashin Photography club, I was given an opportunity by KLPAC to cover this show. It's about people who are HIV positive, but they never fear. They willing to share with us their experience and giving out their helping hand to those people who lost their way when they discovered themself infected by HIV. I'm just proud of them, rather then keep blamming waiting for the days, but they continue live their life to the fullest...To all of the participants who make the show success, please accept my greatest respect - I salute you!
