So I bought this 2nd-hand lens from a co-Pentaxian, an 80-200mm manual zoom Sears lens and it is, by far, the cheapest lens I've bought in ratio to its performance. I bought it on a bargain too, for only Php2000. There was a "price can be negotiated" clause but I hate haggling so I paid for it straight up when we met in Robinsons Manila.

And because this blog has been all sorts of random, here are some test shots.

I was seating in Bonifacio High Street. It was a time I was still shy to point the camera at people.

Like they say, BGC is the place where pets have equal opportunity to enjoy, as with humans

After a couple of snaps, this is when I realized that the aperture was stuck at F22.  I just increased the aperture when I took this. Not sharp, I know.

Then, I started shooting from the park gazebo. I was a pretty cool spot. I was just seated and yet there were a variety of snaps you can take.

Cute couple. I wish I knew them so they would see this.

BGC has trash cans like this everywhere. Cute, makes you want to always throw your trash properly so you'd see one.
