Hello from Virginia, I found this forum in a google search for technical photography and Bokeh. I recognize some of the avatars and usernames from other forums, see quite a few people have landed here.
Photography has been my hobby for 50 years, since my Grandma gave me a Kodak Brownie when I was 5. RF's since I was 11, SLR's, 13. Longtime collector of 35mm cameras and lenses, I like the collectors section here. I also have a longtime interest in amateur camera repair and lens adaptation, mostly simple repairs of classic fixed-lens RF's and modifying lenses for use on Leica and u43 cameras. Sonnar and Jupiter lenses are a special addiction, I've probably converted 40 pre-war Zeiss Contax lenses to Leica mount. It's a special satisfaction to see a professional photographer using a lens that came off of my kitchen table. If I see a technical question, I will probably take a stab at answering it.
