Posted in My Story 私の物語, Science and Tech 科学・技術 with tags , , , on September 30, 2008 by Mervin

While accompanying Sean to get his first DSLR camera. I ended up getting myself a Sigma lense. T_T

Burning a big hole in my wallet but  i am pretty satisfied with what i bought hehe… 

Sigma lense 18-200mm F3.5- 6.3 DC OS with optical stabaliser. 

Gonna make full use of it~ With it i wont have to spoil the moment like going close and take a picture of a kid playing in the park. I used to do that and these kids will be looking at me like one of a kind…
So now no such problems anymore. Yeah!
