Minolta XG1

From the 80's. Still works despite all the battle scars.

The MD Rokkor 45 mm f/2 lens has excellent bokeh. One day I'll find a way to mount this on my Canon 6D.

There's no place like home. And there's nothing like food to make one feel at home.

A few of the food that makes the Philippines more fun!

Canon EOS 6D with 28-135 IS lens

The Canon EOS 6D is a fantastic camera. Full frame in a well-built body -- and at a good price, specially when bundled with the 24-105 IS L lens.

I was curious how my old 28-135 IS USM lens will fare with a 6D.

Wood, light, and shadows

(Canon EOS 6D with 28-135 IS USM lens, ISO 12,800, handheld at f5.6 and 1/8s.)

The low light handling of the Canon 6D is quite impressive at ISO 12,800.

Well, despite showing its age with the old generation IS, the tad slower focusing, and the well-known zoom "creep", it is still a good lens. Somehow it feels at home with a full frame body, perhaps because it was a lens made for film cameras?
