I have been a Nikon owner since the 1970s, first with an FM, then a F50, D90 and currently a D610. My photography started out at a very early age some 60+ years ago with a box brownie and a Kodak Brownie 44b, both of which I still have. I also have my father's Purma special which he used in the second world war to photograph life in the navy.
I also have a Canon XL1S video camera.
Interests are MG sports cars, horses and anything mechanical. I am an avid do it yourselfer and have recently started finding cheap broken Nikon lenses and repairing them following Richard's excellent website. So far I have a 28mm f3.5 non Ai that I have modified to Ai, a 35mm f2 Ai, a 50mm f1.8 af, a 105mm f2.8 micro Ai, a 28-70mm f3.5-4.5 af and last but not least a 70 - 300mm f4.5 - 5.6G af-s VR. Somewhere in the post to me is a broken 24 - 85mm f2.8 - 4D so that is my next project and I will be on the scrounge for parts!
Oh, and I also computer code on a couple of other forums as well as running my own web and mail servers.
