JS lugged his giant potato to the restaurant
He hated it when I call it Giant Potato aka Tai Farn Shu
it's a disgrace to any Nikonian
JS: "It is a D700!!!! not Giant Potato."

D700 came into possession after D90
Sorry dun ask me, I'm a camera idiot

Tsu Lin *via FB* said the crabs were terrified and trembling in fears when they saw me
