I'm your host, Miguel Bazdresch, an amateur photographer.

") document.write("

My photographic equipment reviews are a bit out of the \ ordinary. I don't pay much attention to specifications or to the opinion of the \ \"pros\". These are readily available on the internet, and I usually provide \ links at the end of my articles.

") document.write("

What I try to concentrate on is usability, how well the \ equipment fits my style, and what kind of results I have obtained from it.

") document.write("

My priorities when choosing photographic equipment \ are the following:

") document.write("

•Budget. I need to be able to afford the piece\ of equipment, and my budget is limited.

") document.write("

•Weight. I usually walk long distances carrying my camera and \ lenses. Often, I end up carrying more than just the photo stuff. I need to keep\ my bag light.

") document.write("

•Durability. This is related to budget concerns. I need my stuff \ to last a long while. I take extra-good care of it, but it needs to be rugged too.

") document.write("

•Sharpness. I usually print to 8x10. I'm satisfied by prints \ that are sharp when looked from half a meter or so (two feet). I'm not obsessive \ about it and I don't look at my prints with a magnifying glass.

") document.write("

It could be said that I'm an unusual photographer. Most \ of them place sharpness above everything else. I prefer equipment that will \ allow me to reach my humble goals, and have fun.

") document.write("

I hope knowing my priorites and motivations will help \ you make the most of my reviews.
