Do I only need one lens for my camera?

A while ago now I bought a vintage lens for my Pentax camera. It was a 50mm f1.4 manual focus that I picked up from eBay for less than $50. It takes beautiful photos, if you get the focus right which was no easy task. I finally saved up (aka finished procrastinating) about getting an auto lens that was similar and picked up a 40mm f2.8 as a compromise.
Turns out that compromise has turned into my favourite lens. So much so that I usually only travel with that lens and nothing else.
In fact I think it's only been off the camera once since I got it.

Sure it doesn't have a zoom but in some ways I think that makes it easier to take photos because there isn't any fussing about it. If its not in shot just take a bit of a walk.

Good News but more scans...

As the saga continues I had some more good news from the Neurologist ruling out some nasty things which was very good news. Unfortunately I'm no closer to a cause so I'm off for another MRI today and some more specialists.... way to haemorrhage money before Christmas! (Not that I can complain... lots of people are working hard to figure it out)

I want these speakers!

New commuter tyre

I've been riding the new malvern star single speed convert as my commuter since I got it but I've made a few changes (mainly to reduce the death risk). New brakes and some deep 44mm rims with a decent breaking surface (still purple though to match the rest of the bike) were the first upgrades. It wasn't long though and the tyres were shown the door. A spate of flats and no quick release wheels meant it was time for a tyre with some decent puncture protection.

A nervous day

Today is the day... I'm off to see the neurologist today. I've managed to resist the urge to look at the MRI results simply because if it was bad news a few more weeks of ignorant bliss was nice.

Worrying for the sake of worrying...

So after discovering that it's the waiting that is the most painful part of this whole scenario the worry that has kind of set in. Generally I'm a pessimist at the best of times so in this sort of scenario every little thing seems to be spark a worry in the back of your mind... The inevitable "It's probably nothing.... but what if it's not...."


I'm going to ban myself from "what if's" for the rest of the week I think....

It's the waiting that is the most painful

So after the news of yesterday I went off and had an MRI today. Which as far as medical procedures go was pretty easy. I almost fit in a nap while I was lying there. I think if you had any tendencies for claustrophobia it wouldn't be an y fun at all but for me it was an hour of time with my thoughts (probably a scary place but there is probably a whole post on that in itself). Of course now there is the wait, that time where all the stress of having the tests is replaced with still not knowing any more.
