55mmMicro

back from bandung and ..

First of all, I’m back from Bandung since last week… and picture’s are up @ www.flickr.com/photos/randi

and this one is my fave so far

soo… I repacked my bag only to found out that I’m out of space for a mid-long focal length lens. my 70-210 is to big for the bag, and I don’t like the focal lenght profided by either the 35-70, 35-105 nor the 35-135 especially when all of those lens work in 3.x-4.5 aperture range. so I’m thinking of selling the 35-70+tamron 70-300 and get either an 85 or the 105 DC… which one do you think should I get?but then again, I already have a 55-200 VR … should upgrade the main ody to a D90 before doing anything else tho..

currently the nat geo small rucksack contains a D70, 35f2, 55f2.8, and an 18-55 VR.

My Bag(s) Content

As of today, I personally have 4 bags that are -semi- ready to go. a Wilderness, a Timberland messenger bag, a Nat Geo backpack, a custom camera bag, and a dedicated Airsoft gear bag. 3 out of 5 of those bag are always ready to be grabbed and thrown to my sorry back. currently, that previledge goes to the wilderness bag-laptop and uni things-, custom camera bag, and the airsoft kit bag.

Let’s go thru those bags…

The Airsoft Kit Bag contains:

the BDU of the week, be it a Multicam, Tiger Stripe, or just plain OD/Black

a choice of vest. either a CIRAS or an ALICE.

a Bag of 4000rds of BB to be used with the AR carbines with 10-30round AR magazine.

and a slew of protective gear - Googles, Pads, and Gloves.

The Timberland usually contain roughly the same thing as The Wilderness bag.

a 12″ pBook, notepads, pens, pencils, calculators, and rolls of assorted currency…

The Camera bag I usually interchange between a custom bag I get in 2006 and a Billingham that I got from my dad.

D70 with 55mm Micro on the mount with 18-55 and  55-200 on the sides… I like the versatility it offer. but I’m considering swapping the 55mm with either a 20mm or a 35mm for everyday shots…

beside the camera and it’s acompanying lens, I usually also pack 4 gig worth of memory card and an iPod.

Guess that’s it for now… gonna head home as the rain has stopped… -finally-
