Nikon D3s with Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD lens.

Nikon D3s + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens.

Nikon D3s + Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 AF lens.

Photographed with a 24mm Nikkor f/2.8 AF on a Nikon D2Xs, a crop sensor camera where 24mm equates to something like 35mm on full frame. 1/125th at f/4; 400 ISO. I think the red berries are from a rowan tree.

In 2013 on a whim I bought a Carl Zeiss Jena f/2.8 50mm lens for £12. It has an M42 screw thread and initially I simply held it tight against the lens throat of a Nikon D50, with better results than expected. By the time I photographed this ivy I had graduated to using it on a Canon EOS 20D camera via an adapter. (M42 lenses are happier on Canons than Nikons. Yet the previous Canon FD mount lenses are problematic to use on the successor EOS cameras. Camera mounts are a bit bonkers). The Carl Zeiss Jena f/2.8 50mm lens is a simple Tessar arrangement of four elements originally designed by Paul Rudolph in 1902 while he worked at the Zeiss optical company. For the modest investment and the optical clarity I would recommend this lens.

Things noticed at the margin of a relief road.

On my way home this made a suitable subject for the 55mm f/1.4 Chinon lens which had been the sole optic for that outing. Shooting with the equivalent of an 88mm lens presents particular challenges, but at least you don't break your back carrying a full bag. The camera used was a Canon EOS 30D.
