2011-05-07: On focusing on the essentials
I acquired a socalled mirrorless interchangable lens camera in
August last year. Since than I have used it exclusively with manual focus
vintage lenses. Here I discuss my experience blending old and new imaging
technologies.

2011-05-03: A Leica lens from Minolta?
The M Rokkor lenses were produced by Minolta for their excellent
rangefinder camera Minolta CLE. I aquired one of them, the 40mm f2.0, for
use with my Olympus E-P2.

2010-12-02: A tale of two lenses
Here I discuss two lenses. Both are very new. I've owned them less
than three months, and they represent recent developments from the
respective companies building them. But appart from that they differ in
almost all aspects. Even in the very idea behind their existence.

2010-05-05: A phone for elderly hackers?
The young and smart people people have smart phones. But what phone
should an old hacker choose. My answer is Nokia N900. The only snag is that
this gadget isn't really a phone.

My name is Sigfrid Lundberg. The stuff I publish here may, or may not, be of interest for anyone else.
On this site there is material on photography, music, literature and other stuff I enjoy in life. However, most of it is related to my profession as an Internet programmer and software developer within the area of digital libraries. I have been that at the Royal Danish Library, Copenhagen (Denmark) and, before that, Lund university library (Sweden).
The content here does not reflect the views of my employers. They are now all past employers, since I retired 1 May 2023.
