The Kitchen Window

06 Sep 2024 9 4 158
An ethereal experience. By 2063 a robot will do the work in the kitchen, if it is still there. The land the house is built upon could have been sold for redevelopment. If not, the house could have been extended and reconfigured. One thing is almost certain, new people here will want a different kitchen and trendy new appliances. And Fairy Liquid will probably still be on sale. Nikon D700 and Nikkor-H 85mm f/1.8 lens.

Meanwhile, In Another Part of Town

Draining board photographed using a Nikon D2Xs and a Nikkor 28mm f/2 AI lens. On the D2Xs the field-of-view is equivalent to a 42mm lens on full-frame camera, so it obviously loses its wide-angle character on an APS-C DSLR. Interviewed for ‘Camera & Darkroom’ magazine during the 1980s, Sally Mann (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Mann) said she had supported her artwork by doing lots of small freelance jobs. For this work she often used a 40mm Zuiko lens on a 35mm camera. She felt that 40mm was "about right." Mike Johnston comments on the 40mm focal length in 'The Online Photographer' theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/why-40mm.html For photographers who find 35mm generally too wide, and 50mm a bit too tight, 42mm could be the answer. Of course this presupposes you have never heard of a zoom lens. These devices are a boon to photographers who like to root themselves to one spot and twizzle a zoom ring to frame. Put another way, if you have to move yourself around a bit and change your perspective, the chances are that you will get a picture you would not otherwise get. But with kitchen sinks as your subject, it might not work as well as prime lens devotees often claim.

A Kitchen Sink Drama

09 May 2020 2 159
Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI-S lens. Processed in Lightroom. A Limbo Lockdown Production™. A while ago I bought a Nikkor-S.C 50mm f/1.4 lens (made circa 1973) from a bloke on eBay. The results were very attractive but the focussing mechanism was stiff and unlikely to mend itself, so I returned it with a tart comment. Had he set the selling price at a lower level commensurate with the eventual repair costs I would have had no complaint. I noticed he later sold it to another mug without reducing the price or amending the description. I hankered after the optical quality of the lens however, and bought the later AI-S version from a trader whom I trust. The optical characteristics are not as engaging as the old S.C version, but it's close.
