About me...
Well, I'm just a regular guy who somehow got to a camera - and it became my passion... Since then I'm trying to get better - and there still is much to improve :-)
My main interests, when it comes to photography, are - portrait, parties+events, landscape. However, I'm trying to get to (a little) abstract photography and conceptional stuff. It goes slowly though :))
There are, of course, also some photographers I look upon to - Jessica Claire, Michael Norwood, Martin Stranka... But almost each day I find a new source of inspiration, a new target, so..........
Currently used technique...
Canon 5D
very similar to 400D, when it comes to image quality;
BUT :) it's full-frame, it comes in a huge body, and has many nice features (like the back-wheel, joystick, top status display)... However, the only thing that I really wanted it for is the FF sensor :)

Canon 50mm f/1.4
no opinion just yet :-)
Canon 85mm f/1.8
no opinion just yet :-)
Tamron SP AF 28-75mm F/2,8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO
no opinion just yet :-)
Biometar 80mm f/2.8 (middle-format lens)
lens to have fun with; image quality
ain't exceptional, but the results are
quite unique... Mainly because I've self-made a lens-baby like thing from it :)
Metz 58 AF-1
Previously used technique...
Canon 400D
...a wonderful camera, I have no complains at all but:
- reddish noise at ISO 1600
- small viewfinder (I fixed this using DK-21M magnifier)
- small body :-)
Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II LD Aspherical [IF]
![Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II LD Aspherical [IF]](equipment=tamron17-50mm28.jpg)
The lens I used most of the time on 400D, excellent optical quality and focusing, no complains (excepting the obviously missing IS and USM :-) )
Sigma 30/1.4 EX DC HSM
a wonderful lens (after returning from service :)) It had by far nicest bokeh of my lenses was my favourite lens for parties etc.
Tokina AT-X 535 Pro DX (50-135mm f/2.8)
perfectly sharp, perfectly focusing; a great portrait lens; my heviest lens without any doubt :-)
Canon 50 mm / f1.8
nifty fifty, what's to add? :-)
Tamron AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD 1:2 Macro
I didn't use this one too much, 'cos I'm not into wildphoto and paparazzi style too much :-) However each time I used it it, it did it's job nicely
Sigma 18-50/3.5-5.6 DC :-)
The lens served well, but I soon realised that f/3.5-f/5.6 ain't cool for what I want :-)
Panasonic FZ-7
My very first own camera. Can't really say how good it was, because I sucked at photography that time (it's hard to believe, but even more than I do today :-))
