The Day the New Lens Arrived!

As soon as I opened the box all I could hear was — “Go play!” So I did.
My dad, who is an amazing photographer — who had introduced me to film photography and now supports me through my digital photographic career sent me a film lens to try out on my digital camera. I was super excited to play with a new “old” toy. A 35mm-135mm, 3.5 film lens = awesomeness.
