Last night I borrowed some lenses from our friend Ann who has an old school Pentax SLR. One of the many reasons that I chose the new camera that I did was because I'd be able to fit old Pentax lenses to it, and I thought I could probably find them for relatively cheap.
So Ann let me borrow a few lenses, and, omigod. I don't really know much about lenses and what all of that millimeter stuff means (note to self: learn that), but the first one I tried out was the 50mm.
Um, amazing! Like, this lens has some sort of magical property where it just makes everything beautiful. Ugly stuff--beautiful. Beautiful stuff--even more beautiful. Me--f'ing gorgeous!
So for the last 20 minutes or so I've just been walking around the house taking pictures of things. I kind of wish that I could see the world through a 50mm lens at all times. (Which is kind of like seeing the world through rose-colored classes, except with blurry backgrounds and less pink.)

Strawberry frozen yogurt that isn't very good. At least it's pretty.
Not dead. Yet.
Well, with that I'm off to take a nap. It'll be a quick one. Only 4-5 hours or so.
My new lens is a 50 mm. I am similarly in love!
ReplyDeleteOoh? Really? What does 50mm mean? Other than just plain awesome, of course.
