The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5

An old photograph which I have attempted to improve by turning it upside down and undertaking some judicious editing. I used an old Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 lens on a Nikon D2Xs. It is light in weight and uncommonly sharp, even in this age of excellence in optical instruments. Its widest aperture is only f/3.5 and with the D2Xs being hopeless beyond 400 ISO, good light or flash is necessary. Since I hate using flash, I seldom use the lens. That is a pity.

Originally the family name was spelt ‘Wolstenholme’ but the second George Wostenholm found this name too long for smaller knives, and so he omitted the letters ‘l’ and ‘e’.

Voyages into old sixties fashion magazines with the Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 lens, attached to a Nikon D2Xs. Available light. The bra pictured was marketed by Exquisite Form. It was in the company's Festival range. The advertisement is of 1965 vintage. It makes much of Elura Chemstrand, a new elastomer fibre. Today we know that textile as Spandex and Elastane. What's a bit scary is that the pretty woman modelling the underwear is going to be a pensioner now.
