For the few people that come and visit my website on a daily/weekly/monthly basis, you may have noticed that the design has changed.

I found a really great theme named Evolution created by the crew over at bloggingtips.com. If you are interested you can check out there site and also the Evolution theme itself and see if it is what you have been looking for.

The Evolution theme offers some really great features that you would only find in premium WordPress themes. The great thing is that this theme is absolutely free.

Let me know what you like or dislike about the new look of JasonKimball.org. If you have any suggestions, leave a comment and let me know what you would do differently.

New Lens | Nikkor 55-200mm Zoom

Jay — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:07:20 +0000

Some of you out there may recall an earlier post regarding me buying a new Nikon D40x camera. Well, it has been roughly two months and my wife decided it was time for a new lens. Going with the entry-level photographer theme I decided to purchase the Nikkor 55-200mm VR f/4-5.6 zoom lens .

This was a great choice for me because I was not looking to spend a lot of money on a lens, but I did not want to sacrifice quality. In addition, with my 18-55mm kit lens, I now have the entire 18-200mm focal range covered.

This lens is great for nature and wildlife, sports, family, and portraiture photography. Also, this lens comes equipped with Nikon’s Vibration Reduction. With Vibration Reduction on, a user is able to shoot up to 3 shutter speeds slower than normal, creating dramatically sharper images.

If you are not sure or what some other opinions, you can check out reviews by Kenrockwell.com and dpreview.com . They offer some great insight about the lens.

Here is a shot I took my first day using the lens

What impressed me the most about this lens was the price…I purchased mine for under $200. For me, this is a lens that provides everything that I need.
