I dabble in photography without much pretense. I ended up being somewhat of a lens collector (about 300 in various mounts), it happened without a plan but was inspired by the late Leo Roos who showed me the way. Old lenses have a soul, modern lenses are much better. Both have their use.

My cameras are Sony (I have Minolta AF history and a large range of Minolta AF lenses). My first Sony was an A700 (APSC, noisy, clumsy, never came to terms with that camera), replaced it with an A99. Then came mirrorless, A7, A7M3, A7RM2, A7RM4. When I sold my A700 I vowed never to use APSC again, but then I discovered the joy of c-mount lenses and, due to the tiny image circle, I needed one: The humble A6100. Turned it into a compact travel kit with 10-20 and 18-135 zooms. Very capable little kit. A7RM4 is my main camera but the 61 MP sensor produces huge files that I not always appreciate and certainly don't need, so the A7M3 ('only' 24 MP) still sees a lot of action.
