Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI-S lens. Processed in Lightroom. A Limbo Lockdown Production™. A while ago I bought a Nikkor-S.C 50mm f/1.4 lens (made circa 1973) from a bloke on eBay. The results were very attractive but the focussing mechanism was stiff and unlikely to mend itself, so I returned it with a tart comment. Had he set the selling price at a lower level commensurate with the eventual repair costs I would have had no complaint. I noticed he later sold it to another mug without reducing the price or amending the description. I hankered after the optical quality of the lens however, and bought the later AI-S version from a trader whom I trust. The optical characteristics are not as engaging as the old S.C version, but it's close.

Photographed with a Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens on a Canon EOS 30D camera. This lens was amongst the first of the new Canon EF mount and precedes the digital technology. However, it works well enough on my £69 EOS 30D. I love making pictures with old kit. The latest tech might be better, but by what margin? f/8, 1/500th, 800 ISO. Going for sharpness at the expense of noise. Not that 800 ISO is particularly bad on a 30D anyway.
