I used to collect old Russian Cameras, I sometimes collect Russian Aircraft pins....

 

well that is the dull part.

 

I'm an ICT specialist, Linux Engineer and aspiring Network Engineer, I work in a Datacenter, I love GNU/Linux (Ubuntu and Debian Rock!) And I'm even Certified on Linux and Junos Switches . I visit airshows and like to hike. And love to shoot.

 

I love photography and love retro photography.

(no tiny microbrain computer tells me what I should shoot)

 

Lately I got the question, what are you shooting with... well here goes.... a very incomplete list.

 

Canon,

 

Canon 80D, Canon 70D (with magic lantern), Canon M3, Canon 40D, Canon 300D (retired.... hmm, maybe), think there is a powershot somewhere.

Tamron and Canon Glass, Loads of M42..... This is why I choose Canon, I can use all my favourite Russian Lenses on it.

 

So to name a few,

 

Mir 20, Zenitar 16, Rubinar 8/500, Jupiter 21M, Helios (the Classic in all its variants) and loads more...

 

And yes I do use my Zenit-E and several of my other Zenits (Zenit 19, TTL, B, 11, 12 , AM ect...)

 

I even have some K mount Zenits ;-)

 

And then there is my mobile phone camera thingy.

Tom was the first person I asked about Zenit Cameras, and he was very helpfull and patient! I'm very greatfull for all his help and whenever I take my Zenit to make some shots, I know Tom is too. He's a man that knows what photographing is all about, and this is truly visible in his amazing photos!

He is the person who introduced me in Zenit's world. I bought one faulty, I checked his webpage looking for info, and now I have fifteen Zenits :). Zenit virus attacked me :).
