hey everyone,

i'm koen, live in a small town called wageningen in the netherlands. i study there environmental sciences, otherwise i would have been in leiden. which is where i'm originally from.

because i'm a student i don't have a lot of money, so that's why i fell in love with manual focus lenses. they might not focus on my d60, but they can take photographs so that's good enough for me.

i'm also doing a blog, mainly about my experiences photographing. experiences about using manual focus lenses on modern DSLR's and all sorts of other stuff: manualfocusphotography.blogspot.com/

digital gear (at least what fits on my d60):

nikon d60

nikkor 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 (AF-S)

nikkor 70-210 mm f/4-5.6 (AF)

nikkor 50mm f/2 (pre ai)

nikkor 28m f/3.5 (ai)

vivitar series 1 28-90 mm f/2.8-3.5 (ai)

soligor 135mm f/2.8 (pre ai)

vivitar 300mm f/5.6 (pre ai) (made by tokina)

newest addition: extension rings, yay doing macro now.

film gear:

nikon f-601 with 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5

canon FTb

canon AE-1 program

both with a 35-70mm lens, only one is a constant f/4 without close focus. and the other one is f/3.5-4.5 with close focus

DON'T FORGET TO SMILE WHEN THE CAMERA IS GONE
