After a very long wait (~ 8 months since I dropped my camera), I finally got a notification from Authorized Photo Service (APS) that they were able to complete the repair and calibrate my camera. My baby is finally on its way back home after a very long wait and $780 + for $60 for packaging...

Nikon Coolpix A It is here. Still playing with it. More to follow on the review. A baby D7000 without the AA filter. :D

So I bought this cord in order to come up with a better solution when using the 70-200mm f2.8 lens for event portraits. I wanted to try this instead of paying for a very expensive flash bracket from Really Right Stuff. Flash Brackets Has anyone used this type of configuration or am I nuts to...

Just a quick preview. I still have to edit some. More to follow. I hope spring will come in your area soon. Sakura Nikon 105mm f2.8VR by gqtuazon, on Flickr

I was able to try out the D3s at night during a try out game. Nothing spectacular but I like the image output of this combo with the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8VRII. Time was around 10:30 PM. Feedback are always welcome. 1. M mode @130mm, 1/200, f2.8, ISO 3,600 D3s 70-200mm 009 by gqtuazon, on Flickr...

I am entertaining the idea in getting the lighter weight Nikon 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR Lens as a walk-around lens during day time and for travel. I'm seeing a couple of post from people who have upgraded to a better lens (just my assumption). I appreciate any feedback about its optical quality...

If there was a law for torturing a camera, I would have been in jailed already. Got some extreme blizzard today with wind gust up to 35 knots of wind. I don't know what got into me but I thought of testing how true the weather sealing is with this camera. It lived up the hype and I didn't felt...

Oh oh!. They are here! :) They are a bit early but it's all good. Spring is here already. Some of the first blossoms this year. D7000 + Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR (hand-held) PS: Don't mind me, I'm just rubbing it in. LOL! ;) Sakura 020 by gqtuazon, on Flickr Sakura 017 by gqtuazon, on Flickr...

I normally do not keep original boxes expecially with the flat screen TVs. I've been holding on the Nikon and other camera related boxes for a while just incase if I want to sell them in the future. For those equipment that I do not intend to sell, I usually dump it like my Gitzo tripod. So...

I'm still trying to explore the advantages of the f1.4 vs f1.8. I know these are two different lenses and the Nikon 85mm f1.4G might be more appropriate but I do not have that lens. Here is the size comparison to start with. The Sigma is definitely much bigger and heavier as what you would...

Looking back on how my equipmet have started and evolved as my passion in photography continues. So many lenses that I have tried and sold over the years. I thought of downsizing but somehow they keep on growning. It is so hard to let go on my current lenses until something new and improve is...

Not your puny little gun though. LOL! I thought of sharing this image while I was at work today. Something different that most people don't get to see everyday. Taken by my Fujifilm X10. Choose your weapon by gqtuazon, on Flickr

It was my first time to use my D3s for video. The video quality after it was converted doesn't look good since I had to downsize it significantly. I'm too lazy to re-format it since my internet is very slow in my area. Anyway, I think the sound was pretty good with the added Nikon ME-1 mic...

I finally paired this combo and my SB 900. Wow! What a heavy weight! :eek: Anyway, after taking some portrait shots on one of the cosplay in the City of Kawasaki, I immediately remembered why I bought this lens. D3s Nikon70-200mm f2.8 VRII by gqtuazon, on Flickr 2. D3s Nikon 70-200mm...

I might as well consolidate some of my images here and to keep me motivated. Here is hoping for a great start for 2014. D3s CZ135mm f2 APO by gqtuazon, on Flickr

Well, it didn't take that long. I wasn't able to keep it a secret that long but it is here. This camera was probably meant for me. I dropped by to one of our local stores here in Japan. I've asked the sales person to take it out of their glass cabinet so that I could inspect it. The camera was...

This lens is always my default combo when covering parties and special events followed by the 70-200mm f2.8. I recently borrowed my friend's D700 to cover our Christmas Party in one of the Hotels in Tokyo. This old faithful still performs very well since when I first had it about 4 or 5 years...
