This was taken with a Nikon D700. I used a Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 AF-D lens. ISO 200. 1/320th; f/9.

This photograph from July, 2016, has been posted before, and I happened to bump into it when looking for something else. The chromatic aberration was awful. I'm guessing that was partly due to using the ancient Nikon Series E 75-150mm f/3.5 lens. I attempted to clean it up (the photograph, not the lens). Now it's a bit like the curate's egg: good in parts. Which is simply a diplomatic way of saying 'terrible'. Photographed with a Nikon D700.

Only red and pink, she said. Fujifilm X-E1 with Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R lens.

In Britain you might need to look at the weather forecast several times in one morning if you've got laundry to dry that afternoon. Things can change very quickly. Taken with a manual focus pre AF era Sigma 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 lens on a Canon EOS 30D via an EOS - M42 adapter.

Photographed using a Fujinon 55mm f/2.2 lens in M42 screw mount. Camera: Fujifilm X-E1.

Nikon D3s + Tamron AF 70-210mm f/2.8 SP LD lens made sometime between 1992 and 2003. 1/500th at f/10. 210mm. 200 ISO.

A sunlit washing line. A red towel. A Nikkor 200mm AI lens coupled to a TC-16A teleconverter on a Nikon D2Xs camera. Assorted sheds, trees, fences, shrubs. A microcosm.

I used a Canon EOS 30D with a Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 lens mounted via an EOS - M42 adapter. The lens came with a Praktica MTL5 camera and the two cost me £12.50. The Pentacon f/1.8 50mm is the last version of the Meyer-Optik "Oreston" f/1.8 50mm. It performs better than I had remembered, notwithstanding that using it on the EOS 30D was hopeless for metering the light and I fell back on the "Sunny 16" rule. I was also glad to have Lightroom in which to edit the original RAW image.

Five years ago I took this photograph using a Nikon 18-70mm lens which I subsequently sold in a clear-out of DX lenses. Quite recently I bought another identical lens to replace it. They are available only secondhand now and the photographic press says they are no longer up to the standard required by new DX cameras of higher megapixel levels.

Photographed with a Nikkor 18-70mm lens on a Nikon D70s just moments before the camera began an electronic hissy fit. Such a shame, because the colour from the D70 is so special. But they are very old and temperamental now, and Nikon have not fitted CCD sensors for years, so replacement with a more recent model seems unlikely. Lens at 70mm. 200 ISO; f/9; 1/100th.

'Dench' means - variously - excellent, nice, attractive, fashionable, impressive. However the word is deployed, it is always in a positive sense. It originated from public perception of the actress Judi Dench. Stay Judi.

Shirts photographed with a Canon EOS 30D with a Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Orestegor 200mm f/4 Zebra lens mounted via a cheap EOS-M42 adapter. Subsequent processing in Adobe Lightroom.

Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro. The lens was either a 50mm or a 20mm (both manual focus Nikkors). Probably the 50mm.
