I’m so excited this morning when I was on the bed and suddenly a “light when on” with new solution. This is exciting. But before that, I need to get couple of technical books for references. I quickly jump up from my bed and exciting knowing that I have iPad and get the books right away. I searched for the books on iBook – zero results. I tried couple more terms but no luck. What the! Zero technical books in iBook   So I searched on Amazon.com kindle ebook instead and found them. A bit of disappointed to Apple iBook.

Well, I’m active looking for couple of use lens and flashes. Last week, I found one of them and I’m so excited. It’s 28mm f1.8 and the ad said for $300 cash.

With excitement, I head down and drive for about 30 mins to get there. First time, I saw the lens (inside seller house and pretty dark too), it feel a bit different then the one I used before. (I borrowed from Loo). But I continue to check the len to make no scratches on the glass itself. Looks pretty clean but body a bit scratch. No problem, I thought as long as lens is clear. So pull out my Canon 7D and starting noting couple of interesting:

1) When it focus – it making a lot of noices
2) I was not able to manual focus it during auto focus?

Then that when I start wandering about this lens. What the heck, I thought and let me at least try it on the camera. So I start shooting and adjusting the aperture and realize it only go to 2.8 and I was like … WHAT the. This is not the lens I want. It’s different lens.

Then I told the lady this not the lens she mention in craigslist and  she pretend she duno about it and I could feel she start react a bit different now…. anyway in no time, I just return the lens and say Bye to her. This new lens cost < $300 and she sell it as $300???

Sweet, I have been searching a soft case for my Macbook Pro 13″ for couple months now and non really attract me. Or I better put it this way, non really any special.

Till today I found the one that I really want, but a bit pricey though, $79.99.
