80′s computing

Today we found two keys. They appear to be from the safty deposit from the sublevels of the company I’m working for. We had a look at the lockers.
They appera to be untouched since 1996. And this is what we discovered inside :
21042009006 21042009005
These are just brand old 1980′s HARD DRIVES. Unfortunatly I don’t have an actual hard drive to compare, but these are really big and heavy. Around 40cm diameter and almost 30cm high for the biggest, estimated at around 40Mb data space :)

Of course, as this is not usable anymore, I decided to take one into pieces :
21042009001 21042009
21042009002 21042009003
21042009004 21042009007

50mm and 35mm nikon lenses

Just received the 35mm f1.4 and 50mm f1.2 I bought on ebay. This is a quick versus test.
First, the pics of the two 50mm lenses :
50mm
50mm face
As you can see, the f1.2 is clearly bigger than the f1.8. You really have the feeling of a real good lense with the 1.2.

Then, pics of the two 35mm :
35mm 35mm face
There, not much difference. The f1.4 is just a little bigger, but you still have a better feeling with it.

Now, the test on the EX1 + SGBlade and RotoRazor 1 (1080@25p) :
