Photography lover, take photo since 1970, very good knowledge on photo theory, experience on darkroom technic.self learning and short course in Vocational school. Stay away from heavy equipments now, usually carry the 3 years old Panasonic FZ18 for hiking, this is still the only one can put on a 46mm polarlizer filter in this range, also very good performance and good looking. considering to sold those old FM2 and 35-105mm zoom lens, with data back and motor dirve, will no longer use in the future.
