My New Toy

Ard Christmas last year, my good friend Loony lent me his Minolta 28-75mm/f2.8 lens and I became an instant fan. Photo with depth of field has such alot of feel! Ever since then, i've been trying to get hold of the Tamron 17-50mm/f2.8. Sadly, I could not find it anywhere and it was not even from a lack of trying.

Besides MS Color, I covered more than 20 shops at Sim Lim Sq and Peninsula Plaza. While there is alot similar lens for Canon/ Nikon cameras, there's virtually none for Sony Alpha cameras since somehow stock is not coming in to Singapore. As I was about to lose heart, a kind uncle asked me to try my luck at Peninsula Hotel and waalaaa....I finally found IT!!

Life is funny sometimes, isn't it? Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy something that you want so much....But when you no longer want a certain thing, it'll appear in front of you, causing you anguish whether to take it or not.... Of cos in this case, the decision is a no-brainer. I probably laid my hand on the last possible Tamron 17-50mm/f2.8 for Alpha that is available in retail shops now hahaha.

Already plotting when I should get my next toy........or rather which toy to get......Lomo vs Wide Angle Lens? Tough choice once again......
