[dayah]

here are (finally ) few photos taken with our lovely nifty fifty
that day i took it with me to the office and took some photos in tram and through office window - so these are my favorites

(you can also find them on traveling nifty fifty flickr account)

[rparmar]

Lovely shots of Croatia... literal traveling shots!

[urje]

sorry for the delay, but i haven't had good photo ops these few days. Hope to shoot something decent soon and then send the lens to ezechiel.

[abacus07]

if (when) the lens makes its way back to Asia, I'll try to document Taiwan (Kaohsiung) with it. I do have my own traveling 50 bought from someone in this thread that I'll have shortly to practice with.

edit - I move a lot and I travel a lot but I'll try to stay current on my latest location

argh, that long post I made yesterday with updated 'to do' list and the last hosts added to the list went missing due to that mishap.

anyway, anyone who knows the flickr login, I'd be interested in it.

[ezechiel]

What a pity that I don't have the lens yet. I'm going to Vanuatu, so I could have taken it with me.
It could have done an extra travel...

I suppose it doesn't counts if I put pictures from my own fifty from Vanuatu??
(I live in France normally).

[tsakatsaka]

That's a really interesting journey. I'd like to add my name in the list if that is still possible

[gokenin]

any Updates as to the location of the Tavelin Nifty 50? seems that we have almost gone a month without an update

[urje]

Yes, I'm worried a bit. I sent it off to Ezechiel, who said on december 5th he was leaving for Vanuatu. It wasn't too strange he didn't have it back then, and he didn't post since. Vanuatu is quite the destination, so maybe he hasn't returned yet and the package is waiting for him at home. I surely hope so.


Also, I decided to try and update the complete list. Did this before, but that post disappeared in the server crash. I think it's correct, but in 7 pages, I might have missed one or two. I leave the calculation of the new distances as an excercise for someone else

Hi everyone.

Sorry for the way too late reply!!!

In fact, just got it on time and traveled with the Nifty.
First stop in Hong Kong, just to jump on another airplane.

Little anecdote:
after passing HK hand-luggage check. I took ou the camera because there
was an interesting scene going on. So, took out the camera (no forbidden camera signs like I saw in Australia) and shot a few pictures.

Suddenly, a lady looks at me with razor eyes, said a few words to her colleagues and then 4-5 people came all to me at the same time, including police officers.
So, had to format the memory card (lucky for me, there were no other pictures on it) and show them it was empty.
(Pentax, I needed a second SD slot ) They checked by themselves, but the lady had some difficulties to find how to look at pics in memory.

After 5 minutes, they let me go.

After this, I stopped in Sydney and had to wait for 12 hours. So I made a tour in Sydney and shot some pics there too. But nothing spectacular.. Too sunny day (hard light).

Then off to Vanuatu for a couple of weeks.

Return for Christmas but with the festivities and then overload of work, I hardly had the time to take care of the fifty.

So, I promise, I'll send it to the next person next week!!
Sorry again for having wasted so much time.

I propose it first goes to Finland or Sweden, then Romania, Albania and then Russia?

Who wants to be the first, Viliam or jah3?


Sorry again

[ezechiel]

Sent a PM to jah3 and Viliam to know if they wanna be the next one. But jah3 does not want to receive PM. The first one who reacts will be the following ^^

Ok, little update.
jah3 and Viliam are not responding. Sent pm to ftpaddict but he's leaving us.

Those who said to ftpaddict that he's not passionate enough because he doesn't has expensive lenses...
Well, they should be banned from this forum!!

I'll send some other pms now...

[advisorgee]

This project is so cool. I visit these forums on occasion but this is the first time I have seen this thread.
As it turns out I have my own nifty fifty lens; but I rarely use it. Might have to change that.

[Nomad]

Hi,

I would like to join the fun!! I am in Maine, USA.

And praying for the k-5 issues to be straightened out...SOON

[Bud]

Add my name to the list...

[ezechiel]

Hi all,
the lens will travel to Deni today or tomorrow (was overloaded with work and activities this week). Just have to take some pictures of this place in France, in addition to Sydney and Vanuatu ^^

Who is calculating the distances here? Because for me you can add Poitiers - Paris - Hong Kong - Sydney - Port Vila, Vanuatu - Sydney - Singapore - Paris - Poiters. This will add a lot of kilometers
