Hi, I'm an enthusiastic hobby photographer from Sweden. Photography has fascinated me since I was a youngster, which now is some years ago. Started digital in 2003 and bought my first dslr, a Konica Minolta 5D, in 2005. As Sony took over the Konica Minolta photo division and lens mount I chosed to "stay" with Sony. Today I'm using two Sony's, Sony A700 and Sony A6000.

When it comes to lenses I started off with some pretty bad ones. The KM 18-70 kit lens that came with the KM 5D and the Tamron 18-200 superzom. Soon I realized that I needed some better glass, but - as being hobby photographer - not the best and most expensive available. The following list shows the additional autofocus lenses I have purchased so far:

Tamron 28-75/2.8 (bought it new, a wonderful lens)

Minolta 50/2.8 Macro ( bought it used, maybe One of the best Minoltas)

Tamron 90/2.8 Macro (bought it new, great lens and value for money)

Minolta 135/2.8 (bought it used, great performance, just love it)

Sony 75-300/4,5-6.3 (bought it new, OK if not used wide open above 200 mm)

During summer 2011 I discovered that old manual lenses gave me a real kick from a creative point of view. Today I have got myself quite a few:
