My Photography Gear and Some of My Reviews

Owning a Nikon system has been my photography dream for a long time. Being a perpetual student, I realize that I have to start now, or I may never make it.

Over the past 2 years, I have accumulated quite a collection! I plan to write a review for every piece of equipment I've used. The purpose is simply to have some writing projects for myself, as a way to improve my writing, since English is not my native language.

Please note that these reviews are very subjective and personal, and the contents are under constant changes. All comments welcome, including grammar and spelling corrections.
