I like shooting with old manual lens on new digital camera.
I dislike photography assholes ("film is better," "people who use Digital Rebels think they are pro's but aren't," "photography has rules like composition or exposure," "a good photo is sharp,"etc.)
I like vintage cameras that people call "toy camera," but really aren't.
I dislike most uses of unsharp mask.
I like cameras made of wood, plastic or Bakelite. Metal is fine too if it's old.
Lenses I am using lately on digital SLR:
Russian Helios-40 (1,5/85)
Russian Jupiter-6 (2,8/180)
Canon 10-22mm F/3.5-4.5
Pentax SMC Takumar 1:1.4/50
Vivitar 24mm F2.0
Lenses I am using lately on vintage "toy" camera:
