Just a guy with a camera, though I must say it's a pretty nice camera.

Quite a few of my photos are taken with old manual-focus lenses. There's just something especially satisfying about producing good shots with a mix of new tech and old tech, requiring a bit more thought and finesse than just pushing a button or two. Plus, the bargain-hunting is a lot of fun in itself!
