After getting a piece of paper that says I know...uhhh..."BS Computer Science", I moved on in life and lived with the fact that my bio-timezone does not agree with my geo-timezone.

No amount of drunkenness will make me throw PhP80k for something that does not earn me back some money (yet).
So, well, to stop beating around the bush, I got the SAL35G F1.4, a refurbished(? is that the right term?) Minolta prime,

New Lens!
I got my third lens (after the kit 1855 and the SAL55200), the SAL 1650. It's my first time handling a lens of this build and man is it gorgeous and awesome! As of this writing I've already posted some of my test shots with the said lens in my gallery.
