Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens. Aperture-priority; 100 ISO. 1/400th at f/4.5. The D2Xs, once the flagship of the Nikon fleet, has not become a poor camera simply because later models eclipse its ability. If it used to be good enough for professional photographers, it is a happy experience for amateurs working on their coat tails. Up to 400 ISO it is good; at 100 ISO it is possibly peerless. I love to use it in good light at 100 ISO. It performs best when teamed with a fast prime lens.

Canon EOS 30D + Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens. Aperture-priority set to f/8. ISO 800. 1/400th, Lens at 105mm equivalent to a field of view of 168mm in full frame.

I always enjoy visiting the East Somerset railway, but I made a bit of a mistake taking two members of my family there for an outing on Spring Bank Holiday. Not because the place was busy, but because the fare I normally pay was increased by 66% (£15 as opposed to £9) and I had to buy three tickets at the inflated price. This is not very appealing if you don't much like face painting, tractor rides and looking at farm animals in pens et cetera. Admittedly, there were more locomotives in steam, and six trips available up the line instead of four on a normal day when the railway is in steam, but I won't be caught out like that again. Still, the place was thronged and the young families seemed mostly to be having a good time, and so my grumble might not be justified by today's standards for entertainment costs. Nikon D2Xs + Tokina SD 50-135mm f/2.8 DX AT-X Pro lens.
