    Swedish shooter

    Hi all,

    My name is Andreas Björk.
    I am from the south of Sweden, Malmö.
    I shoot mostly macro and love using larger format lenses on my 35mm cameras.
    I use a Minolta Auto Bellows III that gives me tilt and shift.
    I will some day invest in a LF camera...

    You can find me on Fredmiranda.com, http://forum.manualfocus.org and on www.fotosidan.se. Nickname Anden.

    Cheers!

    I've only been in Malmo briefly, but I regard it fondly, I used to live in Castiglione della Pescaia, Italy, then rapidly becoming what surely must be the only bilingual Italian/Swedish speaking community on earth, thanks to the Swedes from Malmo operating the Riva del Sole resort. I hope you like it here as much as I liked the Riva.

    Hello Andreas and welcome to this forum.

    There are several people from Sweden on this forum, both natives and other nationalities. Some are located on the west coast, Gothenburg, Lund, ... the good thing is to get to know people globally too of course.

    I encourage you to invest in an LF camera, you will enjoy the larger ground glass I'm sure.

    Mvh Patrik

    Just for your information - there is a huge Italian/Swedish speaking community in Stockholm too, beside other such communities in Sweden. This is the modern Europe today.

    Hej Andreas, and welcome to the forum.

    I'm just up the road from you if you'd like to play with a bigger camera some time. I'm not sure 4x5 is suitable for hornet portraiture though :-)

    Yes, one can always tell a Swede, but not much.
