My passion for photography was born... ehm... I guess a little bit than one year
ago! My family gave me a Toshiba PDR-M3 in 2000 and I used it a lot for 4 years
taking a lot of pictures. But the features of this camera were not so
stimolant to become addicted to pics! In 2003 I've been in Paris with Alba and
Angelica... a great great great trip where I think to have gotten the best of my
Toshiba.
In june '04 I bought a Fuji S3000. Some months before leaving Italy for my
wonderful erasmus period in Cluj-Napoca (Romania) at the University
Babes-Bolyai.
In this country I've seen so many beautiful places and I met interesting
people. And the desire to keep those moments in my mind for ever was too
strong. So I started taking pictures with a new eye, like an observer who tries
to take the best of that context.
Last summer my father gave me a superb film camera: Minolta SRT-303 with this kit of lenses and accessories:
- Minolta ROKKOR 50mm f/1.4
- Vivitar 28mm f/2.8
- Polar 80-200 f/4.5
- Vivitar Tele converter 2x
- Flash National PE-247S
- 3 Vivitar Automatic Extension Tube for Macro (12mm, 20mm, 36mm)
This full manual and no-autofocus camera gave me the possibility to explore
a new world, made all of values to set like aperture, shutter speed.
After some months using a great used Olympus E-10 DSLR camera... I'm a happy owner of a Canon 300D Digital Rebel with:
- Canon USM 18-55mm f3.5/5.6
- M42 Adapter
- M42 Carl Zeiss 135mm f3.5 (216mm with the 1.6x factor)
- M42 Contax SuperTakumar 50mm f1.4 (80mm with the 1.6x factor)
- M42 Kenko 2x APS Teleplus MC4
- 3 M42 Extension Tube for Macro (12mm, 20mm, 36mm)
