The umpteenth site about photography, camera and lenses. But a little bit different by paying a lot of attention to the expressiveness of photos as an art form. So no too technical treats or reviews that go into the mere pros and cons of equipment. No pixels or autofocus speeds, but the pure essence of photography.

But also those who focus on purchasing analogue cameras and want to become familiar (again) with the principles of photography with (35mm) films.
