** EDIT: How funny that just a day after making this post, the Multimedia Wired Up Collection is now up and available for purchase! Thanks ThinkTank! **
I’m very much looking forward to ThinkTank’s Multimedia Wired Up Collection – a collection of camera bags that accommodate a multimedia, visual journalist. That is to say, bags that allow us to carry ALL of our gear. Not just a camera but our camera, necessary lenses, sound recording equipment (including recorders, mics, headphones, etc), and video equipment. At once! The best part? It still allows us to be completely mobile (which is hugely important for me)!
Woot!

In three days, I finally get to not only pet the composer but also call it my baby. I wonder how bad it would be if I licked it.
I don’t really know of any easier way to get the selective focus photographs I’m aiming to do on a digital. I’m sure I could with older, manual lenses. But to be honest, I don’t have the cash nor the time, currently, to go hunting for those options. One day, maybe.
What’s sort of neat about this lens is I can grab these little aperture discs, cut whatever shape I want into them, and whatever specular spots there are in the scene, it’ll be in the shape of whatever I cut into the disc. Hours of playing, I would imagine, is in store..
