Just as Pentax sold themselves to Hoya, I remotely sold the K100D in Taiwan to my uncle. He has two kids still growing up, and his last digital camera was a plastic BenQ. I think he needs this more than me. He asked for a super good bargain, and he got it, cuz Chinese people don’t usually say no to family. Which means the deal isn’t so good on my end. But I don’t mind. He’s a good guy.
Can’t believe I haven’t touched it in 9 months, and never will ![]()
Actually I’m pretty happy about it being gone, now that I’ve told myself not to cheap out again.
DSLRs are really clunky things to travel with. I put it on my neck, and it’s like someone punches me in the chest every time I take a step. Do I put it on the side, or hand carry it and strain my shoulder (Yes. I have a frail body). There’s no point carrying it in a case, because you loose photo ops. Lots to consider.
Hey, I bought the side hand grip I wanted and I recommend it. It is not made by Hakuba and probably less comfy, but it is reasonably priced. I spent so much time starring at the camera bags @ bic camera, after I got my second lens. I ended up not getting one, and just carried small pouches for the camera and different accessories in my backpack. Same as how I carry my laptop, never liked any utility bags.
This is a long comment.
Oh, and I carry my camera on the side. The shoulder strap is now connected to the left top and left bottom, and the hand grip is on the right.
