He uses the same DSLR as me, the Canon EOS 350D (mine is on it’s last breath). Like Rob I have used the Pentacon 29mm/2.8 and think it’s an underrated lens. I sold it some time ago though.

My current M42 lenses, which I like:

  • Asahi Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9
  • Asahi Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 55mm/1.8
  • Asahi Super-Takumar 135mm/3.5
  • MC Helios 44-3 58mm/2
  • Auto Yashinon-DX 50mm/1.7
  • Tele-Tokina 105mm/2.8
  • Pentacon Auto 50mm/1.8

You might want to check it out :) They are missing photos of a few, so maybe you can help them out.

I know – a bit outside the scope of this site about photography and cameras, but this work is a big thing for my photography. From the beginning I am a painter and I get a lot of my ideas, composition, feeling, inspiration from the history of art and from my own work. I think it is a good thing – an image is an image and people have been creating them since long before the photography of today.

Here you see a slideshow of my album with drawings and paintings.

A while back a got a mail from Brian where he told me about a new blog, a film photography blog. I think it looks god, but overwhelmed with work I have not had time to check it out thouroughly. A task for this weekend. Hope you’ll pay Feeling Negative? a visit too.

And more…
I have a new site in production myself, a place where you’ll be able to create a blog of your own :) But it’s not quite finished for viewing yet.

I see it mostly as another place to meet people who like this old crap lenses ;) Building the network… But I also got the feeling that Ipernity is more for serious discussions, Flickrs has become a bit of fishing for awards and nice comments and almost noone writes critique. Anyway, welcome to join the groups at Ipernity!:

The Takumar-group and the Yashica-group.
