Sigma 100-300 F4 Lens

I borrowed this from a friend in the hope of buying it over to do birding, but our friendly Pentax tech and friend told me that there are no more spare parts for this lens unlike the 70-200 F2.8 I bought over from FW.

I will wait for a new version to arrive in SG before I decide on my next move.


Updates on what happened in December 2014

On the 30th of December 2014, I received notice that I would be transferred to PA from SJAB and it would be effective 2 January 2015.

I was upset and asked fro the reason and found out that EY has resigned.

I then asked to stay in SJAB until the end of week 1 - 9 January 2015.

From week 2 I am trying to learn the ropes of running the PA Crew before EY leaves by 31 January 2015.

Updates

Went to The Camera Workshop to test the YongNuo RF603II/N3 on the Metz 58AF-1P and the Pentax K3.  Works like a charm in manual mode.

Now to contemplate if I really need another Flash or just get the RF603II/N3.  The refresh rate of the YongNuo 560 III is very good s it is a manual flash but it is defintely faster than my own Metz flash.

Decisions. . . Decisions . .  .

Updates


The idiot in the office is not going to bug me any more.  Last week, he can even complaint to another buddy that I had nothing to do but he too had nothing to do and was doing his own personal stuff like doing his degree course assignment DURING office hours.

WTF!!


My Additional Lenses


FA* 85/1.4
Sigma 70-200/2.8

Added between June and August 2014.

The K3 is beginning to bug me once again, but I will get to the bottom of it to master the camera.

Update

The year is almost ending.  Thinking of going to Bangkok for a family holiday.  Took over a Silver Edition K3 from a fellow Pentaxian.  Was initially upset that all my lenses had to be AF adjusted but now loving' its fast a accurate AF.

Also bought a Pentax FA*85 F1.4 prime lens.  Lovin' it's sharpness.

Updates

It has been quite awhile since I updated the blog as I had been busy attending a course to upgrade myself.  Life as an AED is never smooth sailing.  I got complained about not working together with some teachers again.  It seems that my style of being "soft" with the kids is a no-no in the school books.  We must be tough on them.  Tough love just cannot work with some NA/NT or even Express stream kids.

My former form class, now 2E1, loves my relaxed style but . . . .  Oh well, will have to revert to the old method of scolding and scolding again.  Will follow what works and NOT what I feel I should b doing . . .
