Gear Review | The Nifty Fifty
September 26, 2012 by 8 Comments
written by Beckie of beckiegkengle.com Today’s review is about the fabulous little Nifty Fifty! This lens is a gem! It’s small, fast, and incredibly sharp! (priced between $289 used -$329 new) When I was shooting with my D90 (and before I got my 60mm) this lens was on my camera 99% of the time! […]

But, do not worry because the solution is easy-as-pie. To reset a tool, or all […]
Gear Review | Crumpler 6 Million Dollar Home
September 6, 2012 by 6 Comments
written by Beckie of beckiegkengle.com I am still in search of the perfect bag, and I have begun to wonder if such a thing really exists. I don’t have a whole lot of gear (D700 and 4 lenses). I wanted something big enough to hold my gear but also somewhat on the smaller side. I […]
