When I test this lens with A7M3, I think I can handle well.
However when it is paired with D850, which is the heaviest DSLR in Nikon line (Except D5 !!), I think I need to workout more. Continue reading
I was looking for a mid-range portrait lens, the Sigma 135mm f1.8. Although the Sony E mount version of S135mm had just been released, I still preferred the Nikon version which could, via an adapter, fit into my Sony A7M3 as well as Nikon D850. Continue reading
Birding is a big challenge for photographers as well as their camera system. Like other high speed action shooting scenario, e.g. Car racing, it requires an instant AF response and solid tracking capability. However, it will be even more challenging in birding.

If you know me, you should know I am not a fans of wide angle lens. Most of the time I use telephoto lens, i.e. 85mm or above, to create a tight and themed picture.
After years of shooting, I begin to learn some of the best pictures; landscape, flower and astrophotography, are taken by wide angle lens. I was thinking “Maybe it is time to learn something new?” Continue reading
One day, I am just curious and use my D850 to shoot a dinosaur figure, one of the collections of my son.
This Dino is around 10 feet away from me and i try to focus on his tiny little eye using the “pinpoint” AF function, a new AF mode introduced in D850.
After several trial, I will say her accuracy is outstanding.
100% crop
Not bad, considering it is a taken by an old lens and in Wide open (f/1.4) condition (Nikon AF 85mm f1.4D)
I find the speed of Live view AF has been improved significantly in D850 however it still cannot compare with the snapping AF response when using conventional view finder. If you use the live view AF for snap shot, portraiture, landscape, it will be fine it can certainly do the job. However The same does not hold true in speed photography such as taking sport scene.
Bokeh? I am not fond of that.
It seems nowadays DSLR is not a preferred choice for street photography, on the contrary a compact mirrorless camera with retro vintage outlook is more welcomed. Despite the look and “feel”, DSLR is actually a well development system which can serve mostly all purpose of shooting including street photography. Continue reading

Aberdeen uses to be the central district of southern region of Hong Kong island because Aberdeen fish market is one of the largest fish trading spot in Hong Kong.
Although it is gradually diminishing in recent decades, you can still find some fishing boats as well as their fishing culture near the market

Well, drying takes several weeks and I can tell you the smile is strong !!!
The most common size of fishing boat “walla-walla”. Now it rarely used for fishing but for tourist.
The door of a larger fishing boat. In the past, due to immigration policy, the fisherman family can only live on this docked boat before their citizenship are granted.

Fishing has become a hobby not a job
