Don't wish to bore too much, but this is needed for the background emotions..
Today I've been to the crown court, and no, I've not been a naughty boy, it was simply to sit in, make notes and finish my university coursework.
I left the house at 8, got back at 3.. Very long, boring, cold and tired.
There, the scene is set.. Miserable, cold, tired.
I got home, I have a parcel.. Ooh must open it very very fast especially as the parcel is shaped like a lens :I
And yes, my 50mm off ebay arrived. Pentacon Praktica 50mm 1.8 MC. It came in a leather case box thingy (which I didn't know about) and with a little leather front cap (very snazzy) and the PB -> EOS adapter.
It is sadly however going away for Xmas, but I took some pictures with it and its in absolutely PERFECT condition optically, and a good 9/10 cosmetically, only 9 due to a few markings are ever so slightly worn - but who cares!
After having a play with it, it's perfect for me, it takes ages to turn the focus from 0 to infinity which should help me get focusing correct on my lego, I also love the aperture ring, I really do believe all modern lenses should have the option to have one - I hate how you change aperture by menus on 600d. Either lenses should have a ring, or I should have a better camera lol.
Ah I'm waffling!
Here's pictures of the lens (taken on iPhone)
Anyone reckon I'm excited? Lol
