Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, after work it didn't rain and it was a nice sunny afternoon. Last week, I checked the weather forecast and it was supposed to be a rainy week. But, still, I brought my Nikon z fc camera just in case. I'm glad I did. Turn out to be a nice day for photography.

I guess, my prayer was answered and I now have the chance to test my new AstrHori 50mm manual focus lens. I've read some reviews on it and there are pros and cons. For starters, I'm just a newbie photographer but personally, I think it's awesome!

Of course, this is just my personal view and preferences. First, I love the manual focus and aperture ring control. In my last blog post, I said I preferred using an autofocus lens. Using the astrhori 50mm makes me change my mind. I got the hang of it really quickly.

I think it's more suitable if you're in a relaxed environment just taking your time to take a picture of flowers or any still interesting images. Take your time to manually focus on the subject, and also your ability to control the aperture ring.

The picture looks really sharp and I love the bokeh. The Japanese cemetery garden I went to is a great place to test the lens. I primarily save in jpeg because I'm lazy to do too much editing if used raw and also I want to save space on my 64GB sd card. 

I read somewhere it's advisable not to edit too much or you'll make it much worse. Kinda true, every time I try some editing I end up returning to the original value. At the same time, I learned in another video that exaggerating some of your pictures is also good. Lol.

This time around though, I only edited a little bit trying to make it more natural. And, probably because of the astrhori lens, I didn't edit some of them as they already look fine to me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I always felt that movie makers have a good eye for great pictures or videos.

I believe you need a good eye to make a good picture. A work of art that people will recognize and enjoy. I'm trying to learn how to see things differently. To make my own photography style and make my own work of art that people will appreciate.

This is probably why I simply love my Nikon z fc. The cool retro design and it's no slouch either. Add a good lens like the AstrHori 50mm, and it'll make for an interesting collection of pictures and videos for me. I really like some of the pictures I've taken yesterday. Check out the video!

Below are some of the sample pics that I like:

I've been to the Japanese cemetery park before and I can't remember if I've used my Nikon P950 to take photos or just used my Samsung phone. I think my Nikon z fc with the astrhori 50mm lens takes much sharper pictures. They also brought something different. Especially, the bokeh.

finally! my new cool retro nikon z fc camera with 28mm lens kit

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I hope you had watch my Nikon z fc with 28mm lens kit unboxing. You can watch it here. I'm still waiting for a good day to go out and shoot some pictures with the camera. I usually go cycling to nature parks or beaches and take photos.

Right now, I'm under self-quarantine at home because somehow someone infected me with covid. Luckily, I got the mild versions. The doc had recommended me do the swab test and it was confirmed I have it. Apparently, there's been a spike in covid infection recently.

No matter. It's not like I'm in a hurry to go out and test my new z fc. I'm actually waiting for my handgrip by Smallrig to be delivered today. I chose the silver design because it looks much nicer than the black one. I'm sure it'll be more ergonomic.

Having a proper handgrip on a camera is a much nicer feeling than a flat one. Especially, if you're gonna use it for a few hours. When I use my Nikon p950 the handgrip makes it much easier and more comfortable to hold.

I'll probably make a video of it later. Besides that, I also bought an AstrHori 50mm F2.0 Large Aperture lens. Now, I'll have the 28 and 50mm for my Nikon z fc. I was hoping to get the 85mm lens but it's kinda expensive. I don't have the budget for that.

If you want a good camera and good lens you might want to start saving now. Anyway, since I'm a newbie photographer, I don't want to spend too much on expensive lenses. With the 28 and 50mm I can play around and see what I can get out of them.

I'm in a learning phase and using these two lenses on my z fc would be interesting and hopefully fun. Oh, I'm wondering if I can use them to take pictures of the moon like my P950. You can really zoom in on the moon with it. I'll have to wait though as it's been raining and cloudy.

I'm still keeping my z fc camera inside its box. I can test it by taking pictures of the things inside my room but I don't feel like doing it right now. As I've said, I'm waiting for my handgrip and the 50mm lens. I also prefer taking pictures outside.

I haven't used this type of camera where you can or have to change the lens for different types of pictures. That's why I wanted to get the 50mm lens. It's also kinda cheap. Whereas the 85mm cost around USD$800. I'll rather play around with my 28 and 50mm first.

There are some 3rd party companies that are selling the lens at almost half the cost. I'm not sure how good they are compared to an original brand name like Nikon. Unless I buy it and test the difference myself. That's why I got myself the z fc. You learn by doing it yourself.
