I live in Milan (Italy) and photography is one of my hobbies : in general I prefer macro or close-up because I can't travel very much in this period of my life .
I bought digital cameras (Canon 30D and 5D) about one years ago and
use Leica (19 mm 2° version) - Contax Zeiss (28-35-50 and 85mm)-
Canon (135 f2 - 300 f4 IS and only one zoom : 70-200 f4 IS).
I have very much to learn to improve ...but I consider photography a serious play .
