My Nikon 300 would still perform wonderfully at anywhere from 28 to 300 mm but due to my now emasculated 28 by 70 mm top of the line Nikon lens I&#8217;d be \u00a0stuck with only a 17 by 35 mm lens for my new Nikon D 750 full frame camera. \u00a0Should I buy another $2000 lens? \u00a0I had already had Nikon repair the 28 by 70 lens once and that repair cost me almost $1000.<\/p>\n<p>So back I went to the Pattaya Best Camera Shop. \u00a0I wound up spending about $350 for a new Sigma 1.4 50 mm lens.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Had it not been for the owner of the Pattaya Best Camera shop, \u00a0I probably would never have bought a Sigma lens in the first place .<\/h3>\n<p>I would have bought a Nikon, but the shop owner convinced me that the Sigma lens was ever better than its Nikon counterpart.<\/p>\n<p>I took this lens home with me and started to take low light pictures down on the beach. \u00a0That&#8217;s when I realized this shop owner certainly knew his cameras and lenses. \u00a0The Sigma had excellent low light capabilities, was very sharp, and it did a fantastic job of blurring the background \u00a0shooting wide open.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2065\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/bestcamera3.jpg?resize=474%2C316&#038;quality=60\" alt=\"Best Pattaya Camera camera accessories\" width=\"474\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/bestcamera3.jpg?w=800&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/bestcamera3.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/bestcamera3.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">But what should I do with the Nikon 28 by 70 lens?<\/h3>\n<p>For a few nights I pondered my choices. \u00a0I could send it back to Nikon for repair as I had once before. \u00a0But the thought of once again paying close to $1000 for the same lens was not very appealing. \u00a0I buy a 1.4 Nikon 85 mm \u00a0prime lens which was getting outstanding reviews. \u00a0Or I could go for the new lens that had replaced it in the Nikon stable &#8211;the Nikon 24 by 70 \u00a02.8. \u00a0But I pretty much decided to wait until I traveled back to the U.S. \u00a0By this time I&#8217;d have over $500 worth in points on my credit card which I could apply at Amazon on a new lens.<\/p>\n<p>But I went back to the Best Pattaya Camera shop. \u00a0The shop owner took the 28 by 70 mm lens off my Nikon 750. \u00a0After studying it closely he said to me, &#8220;All you need to do is to have this lens cleaned.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cleaned? \u00a0Why I hardly used it since sending it to Bangkok Nikon for that very expensive repair.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you sure that&#8217;s all there is to this problem?&#8221; I asked the shop owner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am \u00a0sure,&#8221; he promised me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How much will that cost me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Around 2000 baht.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The first time I had to send this lens to Nikon for repair, \u00a0I had to package it myself and take it down to the Post office.<\/h3>\n<p>This time the shop owner did all the work for me. \u00a0Two weeks later I came back to the shop to see if the \u00a02000 baht repair had been successful.<\/p>\n<p>The lens now focused perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>After I explained to the shop owner that I wouldn&#8217;t be doing a lot of telephoto work with my cameras, he told me, &#8220;Those two Nikon 2.8 lenses should last you for the rest of your life.

He then started writing for adult magazines while branching out into professional photography to augment his articles. He is perhaps best known for his Xtreme Weapons articles for Xtreme Magazine, his coverage of major adult entertainment events, and his interviews of famous feature entertainers. By the time he bought his beach front condo in Thailand, he had written over 100 articles for four adult magazines while shooting over 100,000 pictures of adult entertainers and key adult industry events. His experiences on his condo committee while dealing with a Second World culture provided the inspiration for \\\"Welcome to the Fun House\\\".
