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.

Four years ago I won an eBay auction for a 2x teleconverter. The seller did not know it was a teleconverter and had advertised it as a 50mm Tokina lens. In fact the only Tokina thing about it was a lens cap and even that was difficult to discern in the awful photographs the seller had posted. It turned out to be a Teleplus NAS Macro MC7 from the pre-autofocus days, designed to appeal to photographers on a budget and wanting to extend the capability of their one and only lens with a close-up macro feature as well as a doubling of its focal length. I had hoped it might be a more up to date version with AF, but no. I haven’t used it much, but I think it was worth the £4.99 I bid. Here it is coupled with a Nikkor-P 105mm f/2.5 lens.
