Two people walking in step photographed through the classical porch added incongruously to the front of the Georgian building in Corsham housing the Methuen Arms hotel. I used a Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm f/2.8 lens on a Canon EOS 20D. This lens is a Tessar design of just four elements and was a lower cost option to a Pentacon equivalent on a Praktica camera in the 1970s. It was slower of course; f/2.8 compared to the Pentacon's f/1.8. Yet in good light the Carl Zeiss was every bit as good, better maybe. Certainly a sharp lens, and capable of closer focussing than many other standard lenses. I bought mine second hand for £12. I doubt if a lens in good working order and engraved with 'Carl Zeiss' could be found cheaper.

Photographed with a Nikkor 18-70mm lens on a Nikon D70s. 70mm. 400 ISO; f/4.5; 1/80th.

Trowbridge Apple Fair, Courtfield House. Canon EOS 20D with 18-55mm kit lens.

Photographed with a Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 Series E lens on a Nikon D2Xs camera. If you don't need any reach beyond 150mm and you can cope with manual focus and trombone zoom, this is the lens to get. It has constant aperture of f/3.5, impeccable optical performance at all apertures and focal lengths, and can be found secondhand for a song.
