hey y'all~

@nex3 ooh how'd you get that focus effect?

@catalina @nex3 the narrow DOF?

@patience @nex3 ha right that's what it's called

i dug out my old dslr and it's broken and there are photos from 2012 on there

so that's about how long i've been away from photography

@catalina @nex3 i understand having gaps like that, but it's mostly because i can't afford film as often as i'd like — or else i'd be shooting all the bloody time

@patience yeah, now that i've got these lenses and no body, i was looking at film bodies, but i haven't worked with film since high school

@catalina what camera body did you have for those lenses

@patience nikon d80

@catalina so they're Nikkor G lenses

@patience yeah; it came with one of those crummy dx lenses but i got a 50mm and this or something very similar http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/80-200mm-f45-n.htm

@patience (i know rockwell sucks but it was the quickest way to find it)

@catalina ken is a douche

tho i concur with him that "G" stands for "gelding" because no SLR lens has any business lacking an aperture ring
