Nikon D2Xs and Tamron 35mm f/1.8 lens.

Camera: Canon EOS 30D Lens: Chinon 55mm f/1.4 Supplementary Lens: Minolta Close-Up No. 1

Tamron 35mm f/1.8 lens.

Photographed with a Nikon D700 fitted with a Nikkor 50mm f/2 AI lens. This is a wonderful and simple lens with origins as ancient as Stonehenge. I got rid of my 50/1.8 (its successor) because this f/2 version has more soul. It's one of the last in the manufacturing line and has the AI capability, but is basically a cosmetically improved Nikkor-H. Not actually as pretty as the Nikkor-H but just as nice to use.

An old Billingham 225 camera bag, very dirty and neglected when bought, and given a scrub with soap and water, followed by application of boot polish and Brasso as appropriate. I admire Billingham bags for their craftsmanship, gear protection, weather proofing, and durability. I have owned several different models. But I have not enjoyed using them, with the possible exception of the Hadley. They are heavy and not the best for access. Plus, they are expensive, as you might expect from the materials used and the impeccable construction. Photographed with a Nikon D90 and AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens.

The manual focus 28mm f/2 Nikkor lens stood at the top of the tree. Owners of the f/2.8 version think their lens is somehow better, but I doubt that can be so.

'Conventional zip fasteners are not really tough enough for Billinghams’ standards. Therefore, they use strong 8mm zips, where the coil teeth are sewn into the supporting tape. Not only is the resultant fastener stronger then a conventional zip, it is also flatter and less prone to abrasion. ' Billingham bag photographed with a Micro-Nikkor f/3.5 55mm AI on a Nikon D2Xs. Gideon Sundbäck, who was born in 1880, invented the zip fastener.
