Nikon D3s + AF Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 zoom lens. Here I used the lens in its macro mode which operates only at 35mm and in manual focus. My copy of this lens is one of the early ones dating from c.1987 - 88. Despite its age and obvious hard life, it continues giving good service. This was shot at f/5 and the bokeh is not very attractive.

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 D30 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.
