About

I'm Hans Siebert, I am retired and live in Alameda, California. I am a member of the Alameda Photographic Society.

I got started in early 1965 with a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super B and a Leica M3. In the 70s I switched to Nikon, using the F3, FE, and FA with a collection of manual Nikkor lenses. When digital arrived, the Nikon D7000 was the first affordable body that could take my old glass, followed by the D800E for its full-frame sensor.

In 2012 I picked up a Leica M9-P with Zeiss ZM lenses, later, when the M9-P developed sensor problems, I upgraded to the M10-R. The Leica is ideal for street photography: small, quiet, and unobtrusive. Both the Zeiss and Leica lenses are superbly built and extremely sharp.

These are just snapshots. No artistic pretension, no particular order except as per categoris presented. A click on thumbnail will open up additional photos. My advice: view each photo for a few seconds, then move on to the next.

See more on Flickr and Facebook. The Insulator Union Retiree Club photos are a favor I do for them.
