Lenses

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.

A nice windangle zoom that could satisfy my longing for some perspective. It was quite wide even on the crop factor Minolta 7D

My first ever fisheye lens, and a great performer. Both the mechanics and the optical quality is good, and the lens produces a stunning 180 degree vista on a full frame body

A cheap teleconverter that I bought used for my Minolta gear. Not impressing, but useful.

A really excellent telezoom that I bought used in the US for only 330.- USD. Built like a tank, great mechanical construction and really, really fine optical quality.

An el cheapo AF kit lens from Minolta. Not that exciting in any way - narrow zoom range, bad brightness and a terrible mechanical construction. Really plasticky - including the mount.

I forgot where I got this lens, but I think I found it in a box with mixed used gear outside a local photo dealer.

A kit lens of the heyday. An excellent lens when it comes to AF speed and image quality, but not that bright.

A standard midrange telezoom, which was not extremely good, but neither that bad.

A really wide zoom (like REALLY!) even on a DX-body, which it's made for. Rectilinear in spite of its very wide angle of view and definitely a lens I'm going to love.

The so called beer can lens from Minolta, a really excellent midrange zoom with a stunning optical quality and a very good mechanical ditto

A great extender for the telephoto lenses.

My first pro grade walkaround zoom is from Sigma and a great lens on the Minolta AF bodies.

The workhorse! A bright, sharp, sturdy standard zoom that simply does the job and gets the picture.

A killer lens and my new goto macro, releasing the outdated Sigma 90mm of its long and faithful duty.

A really great, bright medium wideangle lens on a DX body, very wide on FF.

My first macro lens for the Nikon bodies, but I knew it from my Minolta time where I had the exact same model.

A classic portrait lens and excellent value for the money, but a little longer than a conventional portrait lens when mounted on a DX body

A great normal lens for DX bodies. Bright, sharp and well built.

A tilt&shift lens that you can pay. It's very well built, but fully manual - both focus and aperture.

A fisheye is a great supplement to any lens lineup, and for Nikon DX owners this is the ticket.

One of the least expensive lenses in Nikon's selection, and one of the best - at least for the money. Any DX shooter should own one.

An old macro back from the 70's.
