What the F#$&!?


What the F#$&!?, originally uploaded by benny ng.

This was actually taken 3 days ago in flight rather than on land. LH025 from Hamburg to Frankfurt. I was seated on the wrong side and would really have preferred his window seat for some spectacular light. Oh well....

It's a shame that I don't really get the time to go around in Europe. Usually splash and dash. Would have love to go beyond Hamburg and see some sights.

Anyway, I'll be back in December again.

Cheers,

Final stop - Hamburg


Final stop - Hamburg, originally uploaded by benny ng.

Went for a walk about near the Park Hyatt and ended up at the train station instead. Took a couple of shots around there and like this one the best. It's no fun being cold and hungry. Everything cost so much more in Euros.

Cheers,

Canon 19mm f/3.5

A very interesting lens....

Available in LTM mount or a much cheaper FL mount with or without retrofocus.

Anyway, just bid on a Canon FL 19m f/3.5 R for the fun of it.

Also, chanced upon another Canon 19mm f/3.5 LTM in Japan.

レンズ内多少ゴミの混入あります。
There are dust inside the lens element.

前枠やピントリングの黒塗りがはげているところがあります。
Front frame and focusing ring has brassing on the black paint.

専用ファインダーと前後キャップが付属します。
Finder, front and rear caps included.

ファインダーはレンズにキズがありますのでオマケ程度にお考えください

Should I? Shouldn't I? I do have more lenses that I can use at this point in time.. We'll see...
