Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VRII lens. 100 ISO.

Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VRII lens at 70mm (105mm full frame equivalent).

Shot using a Nikon D40 with a Nikkor AI 50mm f/2 lens made sometime between March 1977 and January 1979.

It is a wet summer’s day; I don’t think summer has any business being damp, but it must be endured. Hence the pedestrian subject material. I am using a Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 series E zoom lens on a Nikon D2Xs, which gives an angle of view quite a bit longer than the range on a full-frame camera. Notwithstanding that it must be focussed manually, it represents a bargain for its optical excellence - mine cost £31. Where else can you get 150mm at f/3.5 for such a small sum? With this lens plus a 35-70mm and a 20mm I should be ready for anything when the sun shines again. I have substituted a magnifying eyepiece for the original on the D2Xs. It makes what I see 1.2 times bigger. This is very good for focussing. It is called a Nikon DK-17M. I ought to have bought one years ago.

Corsham, Wiltshire, an obstacle course of A boards designed to inconvenience and injure the unwary or short-sighted. I like this photograph because I perceive similarities between the model depicted on the A-board and the smiling woman in the background, namely gender, generation, hairstyle, blue/purple hue, and perhaps even facial features. I don't know if she saw me raise my camera and sportingly posed or if I am being fanciful and just got lucky. I very much like the juxtaposition, whatever the explanation. Photographed with an AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D lens on a Nikon D2Xs set at 100 ISO. 1/125th at f/6. Edited in Lightroom.

Canon EOS 30D + Chinon 55mm f/1.7 + Minolta Close-Up supplementary lens.

Canon EOS 40D and Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens. Canon introduced the EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens with the first EOS cameras in 1987. It is a slide zoom with an optical configuration very similar to the FD lens of the same description.

Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro and AF Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 lens.
