Canon L Lenses Code versus Year of Production
Posted on June 10th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Family.
This only applies to Canon L (Luxury) lenses. Consumer type of Canon lenses (non-L) does not have these codes. Take note that this code is NOT the serial number of the lens, it is the production code printed at the rear mount of Canon L lenses.
Eg. FK0582
First alphabet “F” shows the production plant:
U = Utsunomiya, Japan
F = Fukushima, Japan
O = Oita, Japan
Second Alphabet “K” tells the year of manufacturing. In this case, the K is referring to production year of either 1996 or 1970 or 2022.
The next two digit codes tell month of manufacturing. 05 means manufactured in May.
The last two digits should represent the production count. Unsure at the moment.
So, in summary, FK0582 means that the lens was manufactured in Fukushima plant in May 1996 (most likely).
Rose Garden, Okayama, Japan

Last Saturday (07 June 2008), we went to Okayama, to the very famous rose garden there. It took about 1 1/2 hour drive from our house (Saijyo, Higashi Hiroshima), but the journey was very nice.
Entrance fee is JPY600 (RM20) for adult, Megumi is free. There are a lot of roses there…I can’t remember how many…but sure nice. 
My wife loves roses.
Here are some photos from the trip… (more…)

Osaka Kansai Airport on 20th May 2008

Sending my sister in law family to Kansai Airport in Osaka returning to Malaysia after a 10 days holiday in Japan…
There are lots of photos that I took…as now having a TEKQ Professional Series 8GB CF memory card in my Nikon D200….can take over 700 photos in fine Jpeg without the need to find for external backup storage. One Nikon original battery can’t even last to finish the memory card, so I have a backup battery with me also. Still did not manage to fill the card full. Shot around 4GB of photos, but in the total 10 days there are over 800 photos that I took. I will try to process the photos as soon as possible…
Here’s the Kansai airport series…

A 3 minutes play with Nikon D3 at ISO 6400
Posted on May 15th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Family, Photography.
Went to an electronic store today (in Japan) and got the chance to test and play play with a Nikon D3. I got my new TEKQ Professional 233X Ultra Pro CompactFlash (CF) 8GB Memory Card (Lifetime Warranty) with me, so was able to slot it in and do some test shots and bring them home.
My best model, Megumi was just beside me. Her mum was shopping in a store nearby.
The camera was set to ISO6400 by the previous user or store owner, I did not check the initial setting before taking shots of Megumi…but I think it is great that it is set that way and I can see how good the D3 performed at such ISO! Lens used is Nikon AFD 50mm F1.4.
All photos below are none edited or sharpen in my computer. Only resized and cropped for web sharing purpose.
Here’s a shot that I took (resized for web purpose):
Below are 100% crop (click to view in full):
I must say that I am very very impressed! Not only details are still pertained, but colours are very well and no shift to weird colour matching at this high ISO! (which is always a problem in my Nikon D200)
My sisters in law visiting Japan + Special day
Posted on May 12th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Family.
My sisters in law from Malaysia came to Japan today visiting us.
They are: my eldest sister in law, 2nd elder sister in law (my wife is the third in their family), and the son of my 2nd elder sister in law. All together three people.
My wife went to Kansai airport in Osaka to fetch them, went there by bus last night and today came back using Shinkansen (bullet train). Megumi and I were just waiting at home…
I drove to Shinkansen station where I stayed at around 1pm just now, over 100kg of luggage! Luckily I have a BIG and LUXURY car…hahaa…so can still fit the luggages with another 6 persons in the car (4 adults, 1 kid, 1 baby). My car is Toyota WISH 7 seaters type…ok…not really a luxury car or many but definitely is good enough for me…
We went home first to unload the luggage, not easy to drive around with 100kg of luggage in the car and people cramp around.
After unloading, we went to taste the first real sushi…real one in Japan, unlike Malaysia one.
Megumi:”…oh…where am I going to sleep tonight?!…”
Today a special day…

Dearest love and mama,
11th May 2008…
Today is a special day…
It is the mother’s day…the first mother’s day for my wife!
Today is a special day…
It is the birthday of my wife!
In this very special day…I do not know what to gift to my wife…so I spent some time to tell the world about this special day…
Thank you dear for every day and everything…may God bless our family and marriage, guide us through His way, protect us from all temptations, lead us onto His path and be with us all the time. May everything we do to glorify our Heavenly Father’s name. May God bless and protect Megumi, lead her to know and accept Jesus. In Jesus name I prayed, Amen!
Love,
King and Megumi
