The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: oil

During the 1970s amateur photography was dominated by the 50mm lens, partly because that's what came with the new camera you bought, partly because a different or additional lens cost as much as a secondhand car, and mostly because it delivered satisfactory results. You can photograph most things with a 50mm and no 50mm is bad; there are only grades of excellence. This photograph was made with a Nikkor 50mm f/2 on a Nikon D700. It is a modest little thing of quite stupendous resolving ability.

Ah! The old days, when everyone had strong thumbs.
