Photography Gear:

I Currently own a Nikon D40 w/ YXTM Battery Grip, 2 Origial Batteries, Nikon Speedlight SB-600, Nikkor AF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 w/ Hoya 67mm MC UV Filter, Nikkor AF-D 50mm f/1.8 and a Crumpler 6 Million Dollar Home shoulder camera Bag (I’llpost pictures soon!)

Future Purchase (Sana near future hehe)

Tamron SP AF 17-50 f/2.8 XR Di-II LD Aspehrical with Motor

I’ve been lusting for a Nikkor AF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 lens for the longest time. To be realistic, i really can’t affor that kind of glass! I’m more into portrait photography so i think this would be a very useful lens. The Tamron SP AF 17-50 f/2.8 XR Di-II LD Aspehrical lens is 70% cheaper than its nikkor counter part. It also have good reviews which i’ve been reading for the longest time. Only one thing here is missing, Experience the damn fucker!!!

Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G IF-ED VR

I’ll let this piece of Nikkor glass pass :D its quite affordable for its performance. Well reality wise again, i can’t afford its upgraded version which is the Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 G IF-ED VR. I think this glass could be really handy in the near future. Never the less i would still prioritize the Tamron lens i mentioned above.

Sigma AF 50-150mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM

This complements the range of the Tamron SP AF 17-50 f/2.8 XR Di-II LD Aspehrical . Well it dosen’t really reach the range of the Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G IF-ED VR, but what the hell! Its the same fast aperture as the Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 G IF-ED VR and basically 1/3 of the price!

 A Laptop / DSLR w/ accesssories backpack

Actually I havent decided yet on what brand/model to get. I’ve been looking at some in the market but nothing really catches my full interest. Here are some choices (Comments included)

Tamrac Adventure 9

Reviews Here

Based from what i have seen and felt the material of Tamrac bags, I’m really not impressed on the design and quality build (Sorry for this comment, i never had a tamrac bag this is all based on how i feel the material) I rate this bag 6/10

Crumpler Sinking Barge

Reviews Here

Design wise i’m also impressed, but i really find the laptop compartment to be very secure and safe for my macbook. Actually i had a Crumpler Keystone before, it has great design but the laptop really feels congested when inserted.  The DSLR slot feels so tight which i think i would end up putting my other gear (Aside from the DSLR itself) near my macbook.  I Rate this bag 7.5/10

Crumpler Whickey and Cox

Its silimilar to the keystone but only bigger. I think my macbook would juggled around this baby! (Macbook pro na to! haha) and the downside of this bag, FUCKING EXPENSIVE! I Rate this a 7/10

Lowepro Fastpack 250

 Reviews Here

As i read the reviews over at cambags.com I would rate this as a 9/10 bag. Well it think i made a choice here :D Well i’ll try this out in infomaxx one of these days :D

I’ll continue writing if i have time again :D
