Lenses

A short telephoto macro from Sigma of older make. Not impressing and a little clunky, but built like a tank and bright too.

This vintage of Nikon macros is the creme og the old scholl AF lenses and can be found used for little money. I have always wanted one and found one on MBP, which I bought for about 200 Euros.

A hunk of a lens, but quality wall to wall. Sharp, sturdy, bright. What's not to like?

A lens that I got together with my used Nikon D750 body, and a great addition to the arsenal.

An impressing lens in spite of being fairly dark and variable aperture. It performs really well if you can live with f/3.5 and downwards.

Another kit lens, impressing enough, but probably not one I'll use much.

A lens that I got together with a D5100 I bought used. Impressing little lens, but I don't use it much. I used to have another one, which I gave away.

Another one of Lomo's crazy copies of classic lenses. A beautiful, hand made brass lens that takes some stylish, fuzzy images.

A cheap Russian lens that I bought in Ukraine for almost nothing. Fully manual and fun to play with.

This was one of the best lenses I ever owned and one of the ones I loved most. I bought it cheaply used and immediately fell in love.

I bought this lens for very little money though the local classifieds, and I'm happy that it wasn't too expensive, because it's a really lousy lens!

A really peculiar lens with a very attractive appearance and a very different optical and mechanical construction.

I got this lens together with my D40 when I bought a used D40 kit.

I borrowed this excellent kit lens from a friend to use on my first Nikon SLR body - the D200 - until I could get my own first lens, the 18-200mm.

My first own lens for the Nikon system, and an amazing lens in all ways except for brightness.

A highly praised lens, which I wanted from the day the price was announced. At 800.- USD it's very reasonably priced considering how bright it is, how well constructed it is and how sharp it is.

Another of Nikon's pancake lenses - a bright normal lens. Built to last, all manual, no electronics, but a lovely little lens.

The first wideangle I owned, and a real gem: wide, sharp, good colors and built to last. The mechanics were world class and the optical quality followed close troop.

I had this manual lens as one of the first ones for my Minolta bodies and remember its very good mechanical construction and oh so smooth focusing.

A plastic lens in the deepest meaning of the word. Plastic case, plastic "glass", plastic mount, plastic everything. An a really shitty image quality, but that's the whole idea.

It can't get much worse than this! And that's the whole idea. A plastic lens, which doesn't even have a lens, but features a pinhole disc for extra mediocre image quality. For 20 USD...

The Skink pinhole lens is a simple construction with exchangeable pinhole plates and the typical pinhole image quality.

The Muse is the latest version of original Lensbaby. It uses the same glasses as the Composer. It's pretty hard to control the results, but a lot of fun to use.

The Composer is the "advanced" Lensbaby with better control. It's still a very odd lens with it's warped sharpness and exchangeable glasses.
