Lenses

This isn't actually a lens, but an adapter to fit microscope lenses on an SLR-body.

A flimsy lightweight lens of mediocre mechanical and optical quality, but still ... 19mm on a fullframe camera is a feat after all. Not one that I have used much.

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 breed of Nikon macros is the creme of the old school AF lenses, and can be found used for little money.

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 through 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.
