It has been a while since I last used a Mamiya AFD (4x3 format) to photograph Punggol.

A few weeks back, I got an email from Sony representatives asking if I would like to be part of their outreach program. In return, I get to use Sony lenses and cameras for a few months.

Fast forward to this afternoon, I finally have the awesome Nex-7 on my hands!
