The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: Praktica MTL 5

In ipernity groups, if you are the member with the second-greatest number of photographs and the top dog is expelled for smoking behind the bike sheds, you get bumped up to administrator like it or not. Like nearly all organisations, ipernity is hierarchical and defiance is ultimately useless. This has happened to me twice and each time only a handful of people were left in membership of the group and not all of them had posted any pix for ages. This is the problem with creating groups: eventually old age, attrition, being skint, losing interest, becoming mired in Highland Toffee, amnesia, illness, kidnapping by aliens, you name it, the result is a group existing more or less in name only. So: using my newly-acquired powers I have given my latest group, the 50mm group, a new banner, and thus energised all the ordinary members (two people from Australia) will get posting, and hundreds of new people who use 50mm lenses will emerge and enlist. Yeah, that’s what’s gonna happen.

You know where you are with a 50mm lens. It's a good reference point for anything else you might need, or think you might need. (Often you don't need anything else). If there is a poor 50mm lens, I have yet to hear of it. A few are overpriced but for the most part they are cheap, and excellent gatherers of light. Photographed with an AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D lens on a Nikon D700 at 200 ISO. 3 seconds exposure at f/16. Cropped to remove an extraneous road atlas. I guess that the availability of sat nav and digital maps means that the once ubiquitous road atlas has pretty much gone the way of the Praktica camera. Anyway, I didn't want it competing for attention in this picture.
