china.

We had a FAST 1 week 3 city trip to China (Beijing, XianHua via Guang Xao, Hong Kong). I thought’d I share what equipment I travelled and matching pictures. First off… I am not a telephoto shooter.

Beautiful color and nice bokeh… not as nice as teh 85L but pretty nice. It’s also a fraction of the price. The [ READ MORE ]
