Hey, first off: Thanks for the great lens database! It really helped me with figuring out which lens to buy (and which lenses I still want).
About me: I am a c.s. student in the Saarland, a small federal state in the south-west of Germany (though not native from here, but a little further north, the Eifel).
I always loved fooling around with other peoples (proper) cameras, but didn't get around to buying one for myself - until recently. My father lent me his
K200D for a month, but now my sister took it to Australia. I was finally infected and got to get my own.
I ended up with a used
K20D, and a set of lenses to practice with:
Oh, and from some time this weekend on a
Sigma 18-50mm F2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM, since I got very lucky with the price (wrong auction title). Need to figure which lens I will keep in that fl range - but that's going to be a different thread ;-)
Anyway, next mission: Practice
Oh, of course, this is a photography forum, so I'll attach a picture.
This shot was taken at the Urban Art exhibition at the Völklinger Hütte, an (industrial) UNESCO world-heritage site.
The exhibit is called "Lilith's Progeny" by Doze Green.
