The majority of my work is landscape, local architecture, travel and street photography. Occasional I do wish that I had a longer lens to capture the Himal from my rooftop but I find that my photographs are better when I get closer to the subject rather than using a longer lens. This summer I hope to purchase a 35mm/2.0 ASPH for the M's and a 120mm Schneider Super Angulon for the 4x5. Ian Stanley, Kathmandu, Nepal
