Oh aren’t they so cute? Look at how they sleep! One little nose peeking out for some fresh air.

Not exactly very proud to be a super late adopter of the iPhone 3G, but I’m certainly glad I received it on the evening of Tuesday September 1, 2009 as scheduled. My primary aim wasn’t actually to get an iPhone, but to switch to SingTel ‘cos StarHub’s signal strength was terrible in almost every place I work. Well, it’s not surprising they were all SingTel buildings – ComCenter, Telepark, etc.

Since I was doing a switch to SingTel, I thought, what the heck, I’ll just grab the iPhone 3G that’s going for only $88 at SingTel’s online shop. I’ll finally get to enjoy 3G data speeds that’s lacking in my current iPhone 2G. One other thing I’d love to have is the improved clarity of the iPhone 3G speaker so I can make calls in the car when I forget to activate my bluetooth!
So with a new iPhone 3G, what should I do with my iPhone 2G that has a cracked glass? Should I spend $200+ to replace the glass and cover so it looks like new, and either sell it or pass it on to my siblings, or should I sell it for $150, or should I just use it?
I decided to take the Opteka 500mm mirror lens along with me today and took some shots. Note all the photos have been digitally enhanced, cropped and resized for web viewing.
As suggested in my previous post, this lens works best when taken with high shutter speeds. Try not to get +0.0 exposure on your camera or you’ll get overexposed photos. The photos will look pale, but some post-processing with Photoshop should fix them.
Verdict? The Opteka 500mm mirror lens is a good toy for some fun. The photos are decent enough for some web photos, but one should not consider it for professional use.
Enjoy the pics! Photos taken with an Olympus E-420 and Opteka 500mm mirror @ f/8.0. No tripods used.
