Camera bodies:
Minolta Maxxum/Dynax 700si
Minolta 3xi was the very first SLR camera I bought(in ´95 I believe). The more I learned about
photography the more I required of the camera. The 3xi-model fulfilled my photographic needs for about 2
years, after that it was time to get a new camera that satisfied my new requirements. I sticked
to Minolta and bought the Maxxum/Dynax 700si in September ´97. Since then I´ve mainly been
using the 700. I´ve only been using the 3xi on occasions where I didn´t dare to use the more
expensive 700(e.g. on party´s).

Zenit-b
(SLR-manual from the 60´s)
Last Christmas my father gave me his old SLR camera, the one he had used when he was younger, a
Russian Zenit-b with accompanying lens system. He also gave me a electronic flash and a German
WeimarLux exposure meter. I haven´t yet had the opportunity to use the Zenit, but will by
summer at the latest.
Lenses:
Minolta AF 28mm f/2.8
So far I haven´t bothered about the quality of my picture, at least not on the lenses effect on it.
But I have noticed that I am becoming more concerned with the matter.
Minolta AF 35-70mm f/3.4-4.5
Sigma AF 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6
Helios MF 58mm f/2.0 (for the Zenit-b)
Sigma is the lens I use most of the time, it covers a good range of focal distances. It´s when my main
subject gets closer (~2m) and when using my close-up filter I use the Minolta 35-70mm.
Recently I decided to upgrade my lens equipment with the fixed focal length
Minolta 28mm f/2.8.
Film:
Kodak T-max pro
Kodak Royal Gold 200 and 400 films.
Remaining photo equipment:
VC-700 Vertical Control Grip
Minolta 5400HS flash
hama +10/50mm close-up filter
Skylight-filter
A Lowepro PhotoTrekker backpack
