Better introduce myself

Mr J · 01-25-2009, 03:17 PM

Hi
Been a member for 18 months, but not had time (and forgot password) to introduce myself. Been using Pentax cameras since 1978, now using a K10D. I have a healthy collection of old MF lenses (mainly Pentax,Tamron, Tokina and some Russian stuff) and love the different way these old lenses 'paint' an image. It's very hard to make the other unenlightened photographers understand the subtle way a lens is so important in the image creation process, still it's their loss. I view myself as a photographic whore, I'll take anything if it creates a satisfying image. Photograpy should come from the heart and not a microchip.

Regards
