Mike Gammill Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 <p>Great photo, Maciek. It looks like you captured a memorable moment here. I'll have to read up on this photographer now. You are fortunate to have met a famous photographer. My family owned a camera shop from 1974 to 1993 and we never had anyone famous visit us. Great catch and thanks for sharing.</p> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jodys Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 <p>I googled him, that portrait you have done seems very appropriate given his body of work. But I would have sold him something more expensive...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph. Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 in my reading old potentially interesting posts I found this on page 328 which reminded me that perhaps 25years or so ago I met mr. Krogvold when I was snappng pictures inside a medieval wooden church here in Norway. He cast a quick glance at my M3 and its Hologon 15mm and probably assumed that I had more money than knowledge of photography, so he asked me what exposure settings I would use outside. Having measured this a short while ago, I was able to give a sensible answer, so he smiled and agreed. p. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Smith Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I thinks it's a Silette, as it has no rangefinder. I have one in my collection. I learnt all about cameras by disassembling my father's Silette when I was a kid. Bought another one for the memory. Morten Krogvold sure loves his.
