Lens shopping, interesting hobby

Nothing particularly fascinating for last week and half; last weekend weather was lousy, so went only shopping and walking around in rain on Saturday, and went to play Go and for a little bit of bicycling on Sunday. Shopped new Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens, and found out I don't like primes that much (coworker beer pictures only taken with the lens, and those not shared here, sorry).

Tomorrow, the weather forecast looks LOUSY but we decided to go hiking anyway; interesting to see how it turns out. I bought today another lens (sigh, dangerous hobby), Tokina 12-24mm f/4 one. It was inspired by my lack of liking of the earlier Canon lens - I decided to stick to zooms from now on.

Sample or two from the new wide-angle lens:

Few taxis near Shibuya.

Random crowds at Shibuya.

I am looking forward to how the lens turns out on the tomorrow's hike - hopefully the weather will be reasonable.
