Cooke kinetal 50mm/ f1.8(T2) 電影鏡,感謝 Ricky 兄的大方長期借用。小縮一點光圈就很利,散景與色澤都很對味,拿來拍短片更是讚!!!

ZM35/F2 + R-D1s 拍 "A4"

受限於場地與光線,這篇並沒有拿 Cooke 與 E-P1 這個最近幾週來最愛的組合來拍。無奈 E-P1 的高 ISO 表現相當差,反而是只有 600 萬畫素的 R-D1s,配上 ZM35/2 在過去的經驗中拿來抓黃昏的微光一向不賴。

也在此恭喜這位超級好朋友,給了自己一個讓人坐上去就會砰然心跳與微笑的生日禮物!

Limited by the place and light, I didnt take these pictures by Cooke lens and E-P1, my favorite kit recently. However, the noise of E-P1 at high ISO is irritating. According to my experience in the past, R-D1s, a digital RF camara with 6M pixels only, and ZM35/2 delivered good quality picutures in dusk.

Congratulate my good friend. He gave himself a birthday gift which makes the driver feel his heartbeat and show the smiley.

Driving through the Finger Lakes

Driving through the Finger Lakes should be a delightful trip. However, the cold rain discouraged me from taking pictures.

Howerer, it rained. I was reluctant to use R6.2, one of Ricky's collection, in the rain. Rolling down the window, I took these pictures by R6.2 in the car.
無奈下著大雨,捨不得把 R6.2 到戶外拍。這幾張 R6.2 拍的照片都是在車內搖下車窗拍的。

The spots in above three pictures do not include Rush Rhees Library, one of the most representitive building in University of Rochester. In fact, I took a lot of pictures of it at night and in the daytime. However, I snapped them by the digital camera. I think you know the outcome.........

操控體驗中開的 Cayenne GTS,聲音跟廣告一樣暴力且迷人。當天開完 Cayman S 與 911 Targa 4S,馬上接著開 Cayenne GTS,感覺當然是差很多。但是市面上又有幾台 SUV 可以這樣的過彎?大概只有配 sport package 的 X5 也可以這樣過吧?!

令人至今難忘的 Boxster 6MT。在 Roadtest 這一戰,一早就跟工作人員打聽有沒有手排車。工作人員給的答案是應該有;不過,因為在 Roadtest 這站大家要換手開車,不一定有機會開得到。好不容易等到下午這一站,一列排開的是 Boxster 6MT, 911 turbo convertible PDK, Panamera Turbo, Panamera S, Boxster S 等等。同組的多是 Porsche Owner,大多只對 911 turbo PDK 與 Panamera 有興趣,原本要換手開的一個小時的行程,因為沒人想開馬力最小的 Boxster,讓我可以獨佔 6MT 近一個小時。這對於手排基本教義派來說,只能說是天上掉下來的禮物啊!馬力於我如浮雲,手排加上靈敏的底盤才是王道!

在山路上開 Boxster,馬力雖然只有 256hp,NA 的直接,底盤的靈活,加上手排的原始樂趣,真的是讓人邊開邊微笑...........也讓人完全忘了要拍一下這台 Boxster,如果有人在旁側錄,應該可以錄到整整一小時的 A Smiley Driver..... ( 看到其他參加 Roadshow 的人,拍了朋友在駕駛座開 Porsche 的微笑,大概就是這種表情吧!或是某人在開 RS4 的神情........)

2009 Porsche Roadshow Taiwan (2) 911

PB180501
911 Carrera 4S 6MT By E-P1
911 已等同於 Porsche 的代名詞了,相對於其他同等級的跑車來說,在其沉重的歷史包袱下,工程師還能讓它的每一代都有這樣棒的表現,確實不簡單。聽著同組的幾個 Porsche 專家們講著手中每一代 Porsche 的各種故事,911 說是跑車中的 Leica M,應該是不為過的。



PB180509
911 Targa 4S PDK By E-P1
體驗完 Cayman S 以後馬上來開 911 Targa 4S,3.8 升的動力卻實讓人印象深刻。"911 bites",是從網路上看到的一段話。沒好好開過 911,對於前輪荷重與油門掌控不夠細膩,還真的會被咬。操控體驗的一個大彎,Targa 4S 就因為我這樣的不熟悉,帶著一個小角錐跑了一小段,也因此被愛開玩笑的教練嘲笑了一番




PB180491
911 Carrera S Convertible PDK By E-P1
作為 Moose Test 的教練車,Carrera S 可以在短短的距離內就衝到所要的速度。997 穩定的底盤做 Moose Test 時,剛開始只感覺只手的動作追不上車子的反應速度。套句教練的話,真正的跑車底盤,是忠於駕駛所下的指令的。因此,不用擔心它做不到,只要手腳反應夠快,就能在車子的極限內閃避的又快又好。胡亂而慌張的操作,反而是降低車的的極限而造成失控。因此怎麼樣又順又快的下指令,就是該學好的課了。此外,PDK 的順暢與耐用度,也絕非 DSG 能相比,一天下來玩了不知幾次的 launch control,換檔還是一樣順暢。當然,手排還是比較對味。
