Nikon D2Xs + Tamron 70-210mm f/2.8 LD SP (67DN) lens. 1/250th at f/5.6. 100mm.

I like the light falling on these very ordinary objects for much of the day. Here I was using a 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor on a teleconverter giving a focal length of 80mm. As it was on an APS-C camera the field of view was akin to 120mm. I was always attracted to telephoto experiences.

Lens: Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI-S.

It is a wet summer’s day; I don’t think summer has any business being damp, but it must be endured. Hence the pedestrian subject material. I am using a Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 series E zoom lens on a Nikon D2Xs, which gives an angle of view quite a bit longer than the range on a full-frame camera. Notwithstanding that it must be focussed manually, it represents a bargain for its optical excellence - mine cost £31. Where else can you get 150mm at f/3.5 for such a small sum? With this lens plus a 35-70mm and a 20mm I should be ready for anything when the sun shines again. I have substituted a magnifying eyepiece for the original on the D2Xs. It makes what I see 1.2 times bigger. This is very good for focussing. It is called a Nikon DK-17M. I ought to have bought one years ago.

Nikon D700 and Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR lens at 210mm. 3200 ISO; f/8; 1/250th.

I used a Helios-44 obtained from a Zenit-E camera from circa 1967. The Helios is a Soviet copy of the Carl Zeiss Biotar 58mm ƒ/2 lens; here I used it in combination with some cheap supplementary close-up lenses screwed into the filter mount. The camera was a Canon EOS 30D. ISO 400; 1/125th; f/2.
