This is an old photograph celebrating an old victory, namely getting a free cap. I used a 75-150mm Series E Nikon lens which has since surrendered to mould, or mildew, or fungus. Is there a difference?

One for everyday use, one for Sunday best.

Close up of a Renault baseball cap from the F1 glory days. Nikon D2Xs+ Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AI lens.

Photographed with a Nikon D700 and a Nikon 75-150mm Series E f/3.5 lens at full stretch. 500 ISO; 1/125th; f/5.6. These lenses were in production for only four years from 1979. Herbert Keppler tested the 75-150mm lens during the 1980’s and found it to be sharper than the legendary 105mm f/2.5, and sharper than the 105mm Micro-Nikkor. This lens is generally accepted to have been the best of the Series E range; in 'The Nikon Compendium Handbook of the Nikon System' by Rudolf Hillebrand and Hans-Joachim Hauschild, it is remarked, 'The image quality of this NIC-coated lens is so good that it would have fitted perfectly into the Nikkor programme.'

Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor-O.C Auto 35mm f/2 lens, made between October, 1973 and April, 1975, and subsequently modified to AI standard.
