Amateur photographer. Clearly more Nikon
cameras and manual lenses than photo
skills but nevertheless just have too much
fun pointing at various subjects.
Background in biochemistry, IT
and management. 9-5 work (and
sometimes more) so photography quality
time comes in short bursts on weekends or
when I can get some time off.

Photo interests vary, but I struggle at wide
angle (composition is tougher). A few
'normals' but 55 1.2S is normally the
favored one. The 105 and 135 is a favored
fl for portrait length shots. The 180 AIS is
fun but haven't used enough recently. 400
5.6 ED AIS is my all time favorite
walkaround birding lens, having replaced
the 70-300VR, which had its convenient
pluses but not as sharp. The excellent but
heavy and cumbersome 500 F4P is
reserved for tripod duty.
