Nikon D2Xs fitted with a Nikon TC-16A teleconverter and a 75-150mm f/3.5 Series E lens.

Photographed with a Nikon D2Xs fitted with a Nikon TC-16A teleconverter and a 75-150mm f/3.5 Series E lens. With the teleconverter, the lens becomes a 120-240mm f/5.6. On the cropped sensor, the field of view is therefore 180-360mm - not bad for a dinky lightweight lens taking a 52mm filter. The Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 lens is generally accepted to have been the best of the Series E range; in 'The Nikon Compendium Handbook of the Nikon System' by Rudolf Hillebrand and Hans-Joachim Hauschild, it is remarked, 'The image quality of this NIC-coated lens is so good that it would have fitted perfectly into the Nikkor programme.' This lens was available only from 1979 to 1983, being discontinued because the market was demanding zoom lenses with greater reach.

St Giles Church at Kellaways is a small edifice and a bit run down. Kellaways is one of five parishes in the Draycot Benefice (Church of England) and the priest-in-charge must be a busy person. The present church was built around 1805 and until recently had a handsome cupola. The local people are raising money to fix it. Kellaways is a sparsely populated place famous for being served by Maud Heath's Causeway, an elevated pathway for keeping people's feet dry in times of floods, which are frequent when the Avon bursts its banks. The Great Western railway passes through but there has never been a stop in Kellaways. There is - unlikely as it sounds - a Kellaways telephone exchange. I can't find any physical evidence of it as yet. Maybe it was a shed with a telephonist once, as was the case elsewhere when the early telephone system was set up.

Nikon D2Xs fitted with a Nikon TC-16A teleconverter and a 75-150mm f/3.5 Series E lens. When you use legacy lenses on the D2Xs, you have a choice of metered manual or aperture-priority modes. Usually I use the latter; you can dial in more or less exposure if the meter is being fooled. Here, I wanted a slow-ish shutter speed as I waited for a subject to pass under me on a bridge over a motorway. The simplest way of getting that seemed to be to be low ISO (where the D2Xs excels anyway) and a small aperture (f/8 got me into the right arena). I took quite a few pictures and this one was really the only one I liked.

That doesn't look like the sort of fence that would keep a fit horse confined against its will. Nikon D2Xs fitted with a Nikon TC-16A teleconverter and a 75-150mm f/3.5 Series E lens.
