Which Side Are You On?

Canon Nikon telephoto lenses

I’m on the white side.

Was browsing my 2007 Japan trip photos a while ago and noticed this photo that I took at Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara.

What’s in the photo is called bazooka in photography terms, or simply said, long telephoto lenses. 400mm, 500mm, 600mm, and one of them costs as much as a Perodua Kancil. Those that you see the cameramen carrying around, especially during F1 races or a football match.

Too bad they kept all these in a locked shelf unlike all the other lenses. The reason I spent hours in Yodobashi Camera, (not once or twice, but more than 3 times!) was because I get to try out myself almost everything that they have on sale, expect of course those in the photo above.
