I need some upgrades of some gears in order to continue my work in cultural heritage documentations. The time and effort I spend doing this work is costly, so a helping hand would bee much appreciated :-)


Mainly, my camera is not fit for the kind of documentation work I do, and specially in low light situations taking photos and making video. I have some e-mount lenses, but I really need a propper full frame camera like the Sony a7 types or sony a6000/a6300. If you have a used one in working conditions it would be great. I put out for sale my sony aps-c to raise money for a Sony a7, a6000/6300.

This is some words about what I am doing:

I study our common European cultural heritage and have been specializing in the architectural heritage and crafts traditions. Our common architectural heritage and the ancient building techniques are disappearing at a fast pace, both as a result of As structural engineer who specializes in technical building protection and appraiser, I have set my goal to document as much as possible for the next generation after us.

In Norway we have built wooden house for more than 5,000 years. Various building techniques have been developed locally but also as a result of contact between people from other parts of Scandinavia and Europe.

Intellectual knowledge of building tradition disappears with the person who has the knowledge. The ancient craft traditions are about to disappear in our era and therefore documentation and understanding of the procedural methods will be essential for future generations and not least those in our time who wants to learn traditional crafts and the old building doctrine.

All the work that I do is non commercial and I publish my findings, reports and pictures on my Facebook site and on my blog.

Thank U for your support.

Best regards

Torstein Jakobsen
