I come from film photography, starting with a Kodak Pocket camera as a child, moving into SLR with Mamiya ZE-2, then Contax 167mt with magical Zeiss lenses.

Experimenting B/W laboratory development, to end with selling the whole lot to buy a Leica D-Lux-3 in 2006. I appreciate this camera for the quality of the lens, the compactness possibilty to shoot in full manual mode.

After 3 years of joy and some frustration, I decided to move back into film photography and had the chance to buy a mint condition Leica M6.

Finally, I moved to the next dimension....Medium Format with a Rolleiflex TLR 2.8F (1962)... and entered into the magical world of Hasselblad with a 500 C/M .

Since end 2023, new move to digital with a mirrorless Nikon Zf, with still using in parallel film cameras.
