Nikon D40 and 18-200mm lens.

Photographed using a Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens on a Fuji camera via an adapter. This lens was an alternative to the more usual 55mm f/1.8 when Dixons were selling Chinon cameras during the early 1970s. They aren't that plentiful on the second-hand market so I guess not many customers paid the extra. After all, this was the budget-conscious end of the market. There is nothing wrong with the f/1.8 version, but the f/1.4 was definitely worth the extra.

Pears photographed using a Nikon D2Xs and a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens. To get a nice close-up I set the camera in high-speed crop which doubles the field-of-view of the lens, in this case to 100mm. In manual mode I set the ISO to 200 and the shutter speed to 1/125th sec. Aperture was f/2. Natural light only. The result was, I admit, unexpected.

Nikon D2Xs + Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 AI lens. Much editing in search of a stark appearance. I was encouraged by remarks made by Old Owl. Cheers, Old Owl.
