He started his passion since the early 1980s with his first gear cam ZENITH kit 50 from Russia and a German wide 28 mm lens. He also developed films by himself in dark room to save costs during  the economic crisis period in the 80’s.

Mai Xuan Vu bought his first gear by himself (Canon 600D, kit 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 and fit 50 f1.8) in 2013, when he traveled to United States and still has this gear until now. He plans to upgrade to Sony full frame A7 Mark ii kit and Zeiss 55 f1.4.and full range soon. At a semi-professional level with advanced photoshop   image  processing   techniques  Mai
