My interest in photography began in 1970, when I bought my first SLR camera, an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic

Since then I have used the following cameras:

Leica M3

Minolta X300 and X700

Canon EOS 100, 1000 and 50E

In 2004 I started to photograph digitally with the Canon G3, 6 months later I bought the Canon 300D (Rebel), and I now use the Canon 20D with the following lenses:

Canon EF 1,8/50, 1,8/85 USM, 4-5,6/70-300 USM IS

Tamron 2,8/28-75 XR DI

Sigma 2,8/18-50 EX DC, Sigma 2,8/70-200 HSM
