We measured time. We divided it. We made revisions. We engineered instruments of time. We commodified time. Time was bought and sold. We believe time is immutable. Yet we are fascinated by the possibility that it may be elastic. Nikon D2Xs + Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 Close Focus Wide Angle lens. There are several versions of this lens; the serial number of this one is 28430xxx with a filter size of 49mm and marked 'Made in Japan'. That reveals it was made by Komine (Vivitar never actually manufactured any lenses - all the work was contracted out). It was an OK lens, nothing stellar, and I got rid of it. The Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 AI, although slower, is in my opinion much better, but it costs quite a bit more. And better still, I recommend the Nikkor 28mm f/2 AI. Manual of course, but plenty of depth-of-field to work with when using a wide-angle.

Nikon D2Xs + 28mm Nikkor f/3.5 AI lens. 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." The field of view provided by a 28mm lens on a crop sensor camera is very close to 40mm. Therefore it might suit photographers who felt that, for their purposes, 50mm was a bit too long and 35mm was a bit too wide.

Canon EOS 40D + Soligor C/D 28mm Wide-Auto f/2.8 lens. The field of view of a 28mm wide-angle lens on a Canon crop sensor camera is 45mm. You get a standard lens experience but with the depth-of-field advantages a wide-angle lens provides.

The Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 AI lens provides a field of view of 42 mm on a Nikon DX SLR. All the characteristics of a wide angle lens, such as plenty of depth-of-field, are nevertheless preserved. The f/3.5 maximum aperture is a bit slow but on the plus side performance is good even wide open and impressive when stopped down. The advantage of using it on a crop sensor is that you are experiencing only the centre performance and not much of the fuzzy edges. It's interesting and fun to use a lens which for all practical purposes behaves like something between 35mm and 50mm lenses on a full frame camera. Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 AI lens.

The sign 'Tytherton Village Hall' is in a typeface little used these days. Indeed the whole building, nicely maintained and a valuable amenity for the village, must be at least 50 years old and probably considerably more. Whereas once it might have been considered ugly and utilitarian in its old charm surroundings, now it conveys a sense of period and it cannot be long before the producers of the 'Miss Marple' dramas arrive to use it as a backdrop for some ladies wearing hats and stout shoes alighting from a Bedford coach with their shopping baskets. Nikon D2Xs and a Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 Close Focus lens made by Komine.
