Championing Great British Quality

An Aldi Supermarket lorry in a queue. Without the tree in the foreground, this picture would simply depict a boring lorry with an over-dependence on the colour red and a crass slogan which is practically meaningless. I salute the tree. Nikon D2Xs and Nikkor 70-210mm f/4-5.6 AF lens.

Nikon D2Xs and 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens. The D2Xs has a hi-speed crop feature which doubles the field of view on the lens, so the experience was akin to 100mm. Given the luxury of getting several test shots, I eventually settled on f/5. Anything faster than that gave no form at all to the passing lorries. Another time I might try f/8. The raindrops could do with being sharper.

Photographed with a Canon EOS 30D and an M42 thread Sigma 80-200mm zoom f/4.5-5.6 attached with an adapter. This lens was launched in 1985. It came in Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Minolta, Praktica B, Praktica screw (M42), Yashica/Contax, Konica, Fuji, and Pentax/Ricoh P (KPR) mounts. It took 52mm filters; was multi-coated; and made in Japan. It was priced at £79.95 or you could buy a special twin pack that also included the companion Sigma 35-70mm f/2.8-4.5 at a special price of £130. 'Camera Weekly' magazine reviewed the two lenses on 8 March, 1986, in a 'Quality on a Budget' feature. They remarked, 'the lenses will satisfy the expectations of even the enthusiast' and were 'quite up to all but the most demanding usage'. You can buy this lens on eBay for 99p; several have changed hands at that sum.
