Experiments in photography by a manual lens enthusiast.

I‘m really interested in adapting manual lenses (from enlarging lenses, special industrial-, repro- and macro-lenses to vintage full frame, medium- and large-format lenses...) and using them on my bellows-system. It‘s all quite fascinating to me: Their origin stories and construction details, their strengths, limitations and little quirks, their unique way of rendering images, their materials and exterior design, trying to see through the mysticism and hyperbole around some of them, but also finding the underappreciated gems among them!Last but not least, I enjoy having conversations and an exchange of ideas with curious and open-minded people.
