Please, believe me The river told me Very softly Want you to hold me, ooh (The Doors, 1968)

Nikon D2Xs and AF-S Nikkor 18-200mm lens.

Photographed with a Nikkor 18-70mm lens on a Nikon D70s just moments before the camera began an electronic hissy fit. Such a shame, because the colour from the D70 is so special. But they are very old and temperamental now, and Nikon have not fitted CCD sensors for years, so replacement with a more recent model seems unlikely. Lens at 70mm. 200 ISO; f/9; 1/100th.

Photographed with a Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm f/2.8 Tessar lens on a Canon EOS 30D via an adapter, with an extension tube between camera and lens. ISO 800, 1/100th, and the lens close to, if not right on, maximum aperture. That is f/2.8 on the humble Tessar.

I used the Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G lens on a Nikon D90 to make this photograph. It's cheap and plentiful on the secondhand market. Optically it is quite good but the quality of construction is not the best. It's also slow, especially at telephoto settings. It will focus as close as 14 inches. It weighs less than seven ounces. I have used Lightroom to improve the photograph. The D90 and the 28-80mm lens were sold some time ago. A fast prime lens will always out-perform a consumer zoom like the 28-80mm. This picture absolutely needed editing assistance: it lacked clarity and contrast and the edges were blurry from being shot at maximum focal length of 80mm and maximum aperture of f/5.6. Just to guarantee softness I shot at 1/50th. I would like to think that I have learned something in the six years since I took the photograph but the rate of attrition suggests otherwise.
