a big issue with a recent purchase for my admin unit Mac Mini and an Optical drive. Think I cracked the case on the mystery of the optical drive that was no longer working after 3 months of working fine and then suddenly it stopped. The firewire 800 cable appears to be the culprit, even though it was brand new with the unit, even though it worked perfectly well for 3 months. So a new cable tomorrow and we should be in full swing, doing lightscribe production of DVD as I had planned.
But the true capper of the evening, a UPS truck delivers the much anticipated. Wait for it. NIKON D600 full frame. The batteries are charging and the operators manual and a cold one are ready for a night of careful interaction. What lens gets the first engagement? Tough choice, a wide angle of some sort should have the honor, the Zeiss 35mm, My old Nikkor 20mm is long gone. We have the 24- 70 a great piece of glass in it's own right. The 17-35 which had taken a back seat to the 24-70 might just the line. Then there are the simple but classic 50mm twins, the Nikkor AF f/1.8 or the Zeiss MF f/1.4 both hungry for the honor.
I will let the batteries get to full charge, and then insert the new 32gb 95mbps SD card and find the lens to take the first spin around the block.
Next I must decide what are the first images to be of? Well a girl has to keep some secrets now! Next post.....D600 full frame output....
