Jacky Cheung’s concert is a superb one, as always! Thanks to PP for getting me VIP tickets. We’re only 10 rows away from the stage. Goodness, that is really very near. This time round, I can really see him in person, and dun really need the projected screens anymore WOOHOO..

We’re already at Genting on early Sunday. We’ve played a few rounds at the theme park, walk walk at the First World shopping area and also had some snacks there. What PP liked the most at Genting is to have a cup of hot coffee while enjoying the cool weather at the outdoors.

So, that evening, we actually planned to go to Coffee Bean to enjoy his coffee. While we’re on the way there, we actually met the team of workers for JC’s concert. So I told PP, maybe we should have his coffee here instead, and maybe we can wait for JC to appear. Just as we’ve suspected, JC did appear, and he was on his way to the Arena of Stars for the night’s concert. Took some shots of him, on the spot! Thanks to PP again, even though PP didn’t even know that JC was already in the car while he was still snapping with his camera. Ha ha

Now, back to his concert, JC performed some songs from his current albums at the start. His sound was a little rough, due to being sick again. JC actually planned to cancel this last day of the concert, but I really have to thank him that he didn’t Its his 99th concert from the World Tour. The last one in the overseas. What I would like to say that his voice is as good as ever even when he’s sick. Bravo!

Then, he continued it with the part where he introduced himself, his life and then it is followed by the part where he sang songs for his wife and daughters. What I liked most in this concert is this part. JC inserted a short stage musical of Snow Wolf Lake + Perhaps Love ( Ru Guo Ai ). This part is really special, the mixture of his songs blends very well into this musical.

This leads to the encore part. JC presented us with some of his very best old hit songs. Wow, this is really a very very cool concert. Thanks to PP again for this GREATEST 10th anniversary gift! Muaks.

Before I buy the Nikkor AF 50mm f1.4D, I tried to search internet for comparison photo taken by f1.4 and f1.8, but no luck.

After did some research  in forum and internet,  i have made up my decision, BUY !!!

Here I want to share some comparison photo taken by these 2 lenses, so for those who want to compare these 2 lenses can take a look.

In term of built quality, f1.4D win because f1.8D too plasticly and the f1.4D’s front lens element also larger than f1.8D.

Below test photos are taken with D80, SB600 on Manfrotto Tripod.

To me, I found that 50mm f1.4D is more contrast then f1.8D and f1.4D looks more creamy when both set to f1.8.  Other than that, the differences are very minimum.
