Photographed with a Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens on a Canon EOS 30D camera. This lens was amongst the first of the new Canon EF mount and precedes the digital technology. However, it works well enough on my £69 EOS 30D. I love making pictures with old kit. The latest tech might be better, but by what margin? f/8, 1/500th, 800 ISO. Going for sharpness at the expense of noise. Not that 800 ISO is particularly bad on a 30D anyway.

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.
