    I knew about the Nifty Two-Fifty and the Magic Drainpipe, but was feeling a bit lazy at the given time :) Thanks for the update.

    Yah .... behind this NAME STORY, a great mystery remain hidden. GOOD GLASS plays a significant part. Anyway, I think TOKINA 11-16mm f/2.8 is far far better GLASS than the WIGMA .... Tok is crazy sharp even at 2.8 ... !!!

    Do u heard any name of the tough metal Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 ??? I need the name plz ...........
  • Naser · 4 months ago
    S'uhas bhai, it's an honor to see you here on my blog :) You are right about the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8. Some say, its even better than the wideangles made by Nikon/Canon which happen to be at least 400 USD over the Tokina.

    No nicknames that I know of for the amazing 50mm f/1.2 yet, sorry :( Apner bashay gobhir ratre hamla chalay ekbar niya asa lagbo bhabtasi.

    Four (Riders or Horsemen) of Apocalypse?
  • Naser · 4 months ago
    I did notice this anomaly while I was writing the post, but I guess for "not being a nerd-overlord"-'s sake, we can ignore the dearth of knowledge most people have about the "X-Men" universe (or Greek Mythology).

    I was like "holy shit" at the Four riders thing! Awesome!
  • Naser · 4 months ago
    * Own the four riders then. You may have to sell your soul to El-Diablo to procure that much dough.
  • Rajiv Ashrafi · 4 months ago
    To be honest, you don't need to sell your soul. You could just rob a few banks and be done with it. Yay for no-burning-in-hell-for-eternity stress on your shoulders!

    The monetary proceedings from this blog would be spent for the benefit for all those who contributed, both as authors and as commenters :) That means free food.
