Hello Karen.
Welcome on this great forum. Smile

You know, you can upload your pictures here using the upload button.
Using this way, other persons will still have access to your photos and samples from manual lenses in years coming.
If uour first upload doens't appear, it's normal, due to antispam measures. We'll make them appear and then your next uploads will be ok.

Some questions :
Where are you from ?
How old are you ?
How did you come to photography and then to manual lenses ?


Reply

Oh, I did not know I could upload pictures that way, I will remember that Smile

I am from Belgium, more specifically from Antwerp.
27 years old.

Have been into photograpy for quite some time now, the first camera I could afford was a P&S canon IXUS95. After shooting with that camera for many years I bumped against it limitations and was looking out for a DSLR. I got some Af lenses but seeing as they are quite expensive I started looking into old MF lenses. My collection has become quite big over the years but I only use M42 lenses on my digital camera (flektogon 35 f2.4, pancolar 50 f1.8 and sonnar 135 f3.5). For all the other ones I do not yet have adapters so I use them on film camera's only. I have plenty of those as well including lomography camera's which I love!
