Cheap Thrills

Remote Cable Release

For some reason, Irene and I were in Trinoma this afternoon and as usual I passed by Canon D-Zone. Very, very bad. I saw a generic Remote Cable Release which was compatible with my 40D. The Canon RS-80N3 was around P2,800. Since I rarely have a need for the remote cable release, I bought the generic one for P850. Just so I have one if I ever want to use one. For long exposures. And someday, when I grow up, when I get my IR filter.

Works perfectly. Made in Korea. The spiral cord may be an issue for some. It looks like a cord from a PLDT-issued telephone. Haha! :P

For Niftier Fifty

Finally, I bought my neglected fifty (50mm 1.8) its designated lens hood (P900). Teehee. Niftier Fifty! Haha!

The ES-62 has 2 parts: the clip on lens hood and the hood adapter ring.

Next stop: Filters!

  1. that’s the hardest thing to do when passing at these kind of shops: resisting the temptation to buy. Once, while at Hidalgo, na over budget ako sa gear and accessories!

  2. I especially get attracted to the small stuff, accessories. You’d think they’re cheap but they really add up!

    Kaya bawal ako sa Hidalgo eh!
