Frank Black remarked in his song 'Jesus Was Right' that 'I like distortion when I bar chord' and whereas I mostly agree with Frank, on a photographic level I dislike distortion quite a lot. So this picture has been sorted out and its predecessor deleted.

The D2X and D2Xs were Nikon's last professional grade DSLR cameras using the APS-C format, which Nikon badged 'DX'. They were in production between 2004 and 2007 with the final year being the 's' variant, although the update changed little. They were essentially the same and you can get one now for about £250 (2022). I got mine secondhand in 2011 and it is the one camera I am never going to sell or give away. Sometimes you just get lucky and find the product that seems a perfect fit. Set at 100 ISO results can be sublime. Beyond 400 ISO they can be - and often are - dreadful. This is a camera for which you need decent light and fast lenses. Nikon D2Xs and Tamron 35mm f/1.8 lens. 100 ISO. F/1.8. 1/500th.

Nikon D2Xs with a Nikkor 28mm f/2 AI lens, made circa 1981, and said by Bjørn Rørslett to be excellent for DX, FX, and on film. Rørslett commented that the lens offers outstandingly sharp images and these are produced at all aperture settings from f/2 to f/8. Rørslett found it unusually resistant to flare and ghosting and eminently suitable for shooting directly into the sun.

Photographed using a lens made c1971 - a Nikkor-H 50mm f/2. It has been modified to AI standard so that it mounts safely on modern digital SLRs from Nikon, in this case an elderly D2Xs. 200 ISO; f/5.6; 1/200th.
