broken down and halfway home

relaxing vacation. anti-relaxing trip home.

there are mountains out my window

that’s what happens when you vacation in new hampshire. it’s quite refreshing though, putting the world on pause.

Camera Contemplations

So I broke my 50mm 1.8 lens. This picture is what bokeh looks like from a lens without a front element! yay! Well i popped it back together and it still basically works, it just doesn’t auto focus anymore which is fine except it makes self portraits incredibly hard.

Well anyways, i’m considering buying a replacement lens… i’m thinking about the 50mm 1.4 or the 85mm 1.8. However if i do that then i won’t be able to get a small pocketable camera… so i’m not sure which i should get…. small camera (probably panasonic tz5) ooooor spiffy new lens. decisions, decisions! Any suggestions?
