I used a Canon EOS 30D with a Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 lens mounted via an EOS - M42 adapter. The lens came with a Praktica MTL5 camera and the two cost me £12.50. The Pentacon f/1.8 50mm is the last version of the Meyer-Optik "Oreston" f/1.8 50mm. It performs better than I had remembered, notwithstanding that using it on the EOS 30D was hopeless for metering the light and I fell back on the "Sunny 16" rule. I was also glad to have Lightroom in which to edit the original RAW image.

On my way past a building site. Canon EOS 30D and Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens. ISO 500. 1/125th at f/8. Lens at 35mm (about 55mm in 35mm film terms).

Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens on a Canon EOS 30D camera. ISO 400; f/11; 1/800th; lens at 74mm (field of view equivalent 118mm). Given the extent of the post processing, all this data is akin to a starting point on a long journey.

Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens on a Canon EOS 30D camera. ISO 400; f/7.1; 1/200th; lens at 66mm (field of view equivalent 105mm).

I have replaced my Canon EF 35-105mm lens; the first one was in bad shape from the moment I took possession but it cost me nothing and educated me over what a fine optic this is. The replacement has light scratches on the front element but for all practical purposes they don't impair performance. Canon made three lenses in the 35-105mm configuration. The one to seek out is the first, an f/3.5-4.5 formula with a trombone action. The others bottom out at f/5.6 which is not much of a light gatherer. I use mine on a Canon EOS 30D which is ancient and where 35-105mm translates as 56-168mm. It would not suit everybody.

Steeple Ashton, Wilts. Walls like this, with elegant curves, are seldom built now. Curved masonry walls can be created three ways. If the radius is large enough, standard brick can be used. If the radius is small, radial brick (curved brick manufactured to a specific radius) should be used. The third way is to cut standard brick to create a shorter inside length. Our generation builds walls with sharp angles because they are conveniently simple and less expensive, not because they look good. Our age is utilitarian and rapacious. Shot with a Nikkor-O.C Auto f/2 35mm lens on a Nikon D2Xs. This is a good lens and hard to find for sale. There's plenty of the f/2.8 35mm Nikkors. They are good, but not as good as the f/2.

Nikon D700 + Tamron AF 70-210mm f/2.8 SP LD lens made sometime between 1992 and 2003. ISO 3200; f/5.6; 1/125; focal length 160mm.
