  pure indulgence
remember when my bro visited and i got to feast my grubby hands on all his fun lenses? well... i couldn't hold out any longer and bought myself the long-sought-after 1.4 nikkor-S (an old manual version, they dont make 'em like that any more!). i justified it as an early birthday present... (one month early). a treat for myself that i know i will use and i couldn't argue with the price on ebay. plus i love those old vintage nikkors, especially the japanese manufactured ones (the sound of the shuttersnap is just unbeatable)! say hello to my new baby (i'm sure you will all enjoy her as much as i will):

My New Baby
nikkor-S 1:1.4 50mm lens. japanese manufactured.

you can be sure that you will be seeing even more gratuitous fiber photos around these parts than usual. i'm sure you wont protest. here are a couple peeks into my (very reasonably sized) stash.

my internet connection is out at home presently. the cable guy/girl is supposed to come fix it today. like i believe that! i've lived in brooklyn long enough to see through time-warners empty promises. so i may be out of commision until monday, if so i'll get back to you then. have a great weekend!

New toys are always fun! I can't wait to see the awesome pictures!

did you name her yet?!

So, that lens works on your digital? I have a Nikkor 1:1.4 50mm. I'm in the market for a new camera and I'd be stoked if I could use my old lens with the new digital.

Your photos are lovely as usual!

Very neat! The photography in your blog is awesome and now it is going to get even better! It is like browsing through a knitting book :)

Aaaaw, the shuttersnap. There is nothing like it. I miss film. Sigh.

You got it!! That's so totally worth it. 1.4! You can't argue with that!

Oh I am so jealous...your shots are fabulous now...how could I expect any better!?

Oh how fun! I love new toys (fiber and otherwise!)

Have fun.

gorgeous pictures! dou you have autofocus with that lens?

i have a nikkormat, i love the sound of the shutter. i would use it more, but it has a funky light leak now. the lenses fit my n90 though, but the shutter doesn't sound nearly as nice.

Congratulations on your new "baby"... you sound like a proud papa!!! I'm looking forward to many gorgeous pictures.
