The first school I’ve finished was University of Construction, being construction engineer, and the second one was University of Mathematics and Computer Science. After this one I’ve done Master in Computer Science.
The last school was Arts and Technical Photography. The photography fascinated me from childhood, and the first camera, was a Smena, a Russian camera on film.I’ve started to shoot in 1983.
Today I use DSLR cameras, but I don’t forget the film cameras, so I shoot on film even today. One day I’ll post photos done on film.
The conclusion is I love to learn, to read, and of course visual arts.I like paintings and pictures, classical and crossover music, I like mountains and the sea, everything is beautiful.
My vision in photography is a little bit different from others, I prefer to set my camera as perfectly as I can, and to use software (Light Room or Photoshop), for little rares and to put my name on it.
I use different cameras, from Olympus, Pentax to Nikon or Canon full frame for digital photography and on film from Voigtlander Bessa to Nikon even Russian cameras, and be sure I love them all.
Digital Cameras and Lenses that I used for my art :
–Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 7D.
For all Canon camera I use these lenses:
-Canon 24-105 mm/L f4
-Canon 17-40 mm/L f4
-Canon 70-200 mm/L f4
-Samyang 85 mm/f1.4
-Samyang 8mm/f3.5 (fish eye)
-Canon 50mm/f1.8
-Tamron 70-300mm/f4-5.6
Blitz Canon 430 EX
–Nikon D810.
For Nikon camera I use these lenses:
-Nikon 50mm/f1.8
-Tamron 90mm/f2.8 (macro).
-Tokina 24-70mm/f2.8.
-Blitz Nikon SB-700
–Pentax Kr and Pentax K5 with lenses Sigma 18-200mm/f3.5-6.3.
-Tokina 135mm, Tokina 35-70mm (45 years old).
–Sony A35 with lenses Sony 35mm/f1.8, Minolta 35-70mm/f2.8-4.5, Tamron 55-200mm/f3.5-6.3
–Olympus E450 with lenses Olympus 14-42mm and 40-140mm.
Mirrorless cameras:
–Olympus EP1; Olympus OM-D E-M10. Lenses Olympus 17mm/f2.8,Olympus 14-42mm.
–Lumix/Panasonic DMC-G3 with 14-40mm.
–Sony NEX5 with lenses Sony 16-50mm and Sigma 19mm, 30mm, 60mm all with f2.8.
–Sony A6000.
I could say that the lenses of Panasonic and Olympus have the same bayonetta.
Others:
-Tripod Cullmann Magnesit 522
-Monopod Slik 350
-polarization filters for every lens.
-nd filters
-nd gradual filters
-art filters
-Adobe Lightroom 5
and many others.
And of course Cameras on film as I said before, and many other photographic technical equipment.
Ufff it’s a very expensive pleasure.
Lots of gadgets you have there! 😉

First of all call me Paul, okay ? Second, I think you coul buy Olympus OM-D E-M10 negru kit 14-42mm II R negru and ED 40-150mm negru, and 2 filters, two for protection the lenses, and 2 for polarization, and a bag protection device and lenses. The camera is little the device is small like a lady, and it’s great, in my opinion. Look at my flowers, i’ve done them with a camera like this. But beware sellers because they are cunning, the machine is very durable, made of alloy, metal and take pictures so very good. Moreover purchased with two objectives, cover almost the entire range of topics (14-42mm and 40-150mm). Now depends on you. Good luck !
