Photolinks, part 1

I have decided to start posting photolinks in this way, this is part 1. The idea was stolen from Brian and my swedish friend Bengt (thanks Brian and Bengt!) ;) My links will be about old cameras, lenses or art and photography in general. I would appreciate if you give some tips on links I should include (I can not guarantee I will though) :)

“Common Sense Lens Selection Philosophy”
I respect any photographer writing the line “The market for used lenses is incredible.” Go read Jeff Lynch’s article about common sense, the thing that made a lot of us choose manual lenses.
“Then & Now: Kodak Movie Cameras”
I have discovered this site with a similar name to mine, Retro Thing. And they do write about cameras and optics sometimes. Great! :)
“Time Tales”
A final place for forgotten, discarded photographs to rest. Somehow it’s very interesting looking through these old pictures.
“When is Manual Focus Better than Auto Focus?”
An interesting article on digital Photography School. I guess you know my point of view? Manual focus is always best ;)

I guess many of you read the story about manual focus lenses in New York Times, “Vintage Lenses on Digital Cameras“. It’s nice more people are discovering manual lenses but I guess the prices may go up ;) I’m actually working on an article at the moment for another website, on the same subject.
